Escafeld 2004 Petit Verdot Launch

We begin shipping out pre-orders of our new release Petit Verdot in the morning! If you've already placed your order, you can expect it to arrive on your doorstep within a few days!

If you haven't tried this wine yet, you must taste it. A delicious 100% pure varietal Petit Verdot, unique and ageworthy with aromatics of mocha and red berries; the palate is full and soft with a generous complexity of mixed berry, spices and hints of coffee.

The perfect wine for the festive season, and one you'll want to order by the case. At $19.95/bottle it won't break the bank either. So make the most of our free shipping offer and place your order now. Free shipping coupon code at checkout is HARVEST06.

Thanksgiving Thoughts...

Thanksgiving is a time when we focus on our many blessings. And we've certainly been blessed in abundance this year.

Our sincere thanks go out to you, our readers, friends and customers, for your overwhelming enthusiasm and encouragement as Escafeld continues to grow.

We have big plans for the future, with a tasting room project in the works and plenty of improvements to our website planned. Our 2004 Petit Verdot will be released Dec 1, and we've just finished our first Syrah harvest. All very exciting developments, and all thanks to your support!

Wishing you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Wines for Thanksgiving: Mix It Up!

It’s always good idea to offer a selection of wines to share at your Thanksgiving table, and one that you should definitely include this year is a good Zinfandel.

Zinfandel pairs wonderfully with roast turkey. So this year, mix it up a little, have a bottle of Zin on your table, and see for yourself how versatile a great Zinfandel can be.

And don't forget, for a limited time, we're offering free shipping! Just enter HARVEST06 when prompted at checkout and shipping will be free!

10th Annual Great Wine Escape Weekend

On Saturday, as part of the 10th Annual Great Wine Escape Weekend, we poured at Ferrantes Bay View Room, atop the Monterey Marriott.

A perfect setting for this afternoon event, the room offered panoramic views of downtown Monterey and the bay. Guests had the opportunity to experience fabulous local wines wines while watching a dramatic ocean sunset followed by the sparkle of city lights reflected in the bay.

We took along our '03 Merlot and Zin and unveiled our soon to be released (Dec 1) '04 Petit Verdot.

A great time was had by all, so be sure to add the 11th Annual Great Wine Escape Weekend to next year's calendar.
