Downtown Santa Cruz Vintners' Street Festival June 9 First annual downtown wine and food festival to celebrate wines of the Santa Cruz Mountains.   Back by Popular Demand Did you try the Orange Peach Chardonnay that we released about two years ago?  It sold out right away so we take it that people liked it!  So, after many requests, we’ve got a new batch fermenting in the winery, and we’re planning to release about 96 cases next spring.  With a projected alcohol of 17% or so and 2-4% residual sugar, this dessert-style wine will be perfect for sipping on the veranda during a heat spell. Wine Club Members Which wine was your favorite? The Chardonnay with the overtones of tropical fruit? The Cabernet from the new LindHill vineyard?  Our first release of Malbec?  The Merlot dessert wine that pairs so nicely with a chocolate treat? Visit our Facebook page and let us know your favorite.
