Victories Rosé Promotion
In preparation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, we would like to extend a special offer exclusively to our email newsletter subscribers. All case orders (12 bottles) of Victories Rosé placed during the month of September will receive a 20% discount. That’s only $192 per case….what a deal! As a special thank you with every case order of Victories, Peggy will personally sign one of the bottles. This wine is a great gift to give to those loved ones in your life who have been affected by the disease, or to serve during the upcoming holiday season as a reminder of how precious life’s victories are.

100% of net profits after taxes of Victories will be donated to charities supporting breast cancer research. Click here to order.

Getting Ready For Harvest
The 2006 harvest is right around the corner and we are finalizing plans for another busy season. Our estate vineyard Chardonnay is showing good cluster development and gradually building sugar and flavor levels. We recently put bird nets over our vines to protect our crop from unwanted visitors.

Our two Syrah vineyards, Madden Ranch in the Livermore Valley and Black Ridge Vineyard in Los Gatos, are developing nicely. The word up in the Napa Valley is that the crop this year is showing small berry and cluster sizes, which should produce very concentrated flavors in the finished wines. This could be great news for the 2006 vintage of Choreography, our Napa Valley Cabernet blend. Harvest is an exciting time for us, and we enjoy the long hours knowing that the end results are all worthwhile!

Upcoming Events
Friday, September 29th – please join us for a special Winemaker Dinner at The Fairmont in downtown San Jose. Executive Chef Daniel Maurice is known for blending the gracious traditions of continental cuisine with the vibrant spirit of California. This will be a very special evening!
