Volume #20: February 2007

Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we’re happy to help you with a great gift for your sweetheart. Two of our favorites for the occasion are the 2005 Fleming Jenkins Victories Rosé or the 2005 San Francisco Bay Syrah Rosé. Both wines are tasting great this time of year, and would be perfect with your candle-lit dinner on February 14th.

Tasting Room Updates
Backyard Wineries has been open for over two months now and we are constantly adding new merchandise. Many thanks to everyone who has come to visit – we appreciate all your comments and compliments! We have added a whole new line of Fleming Jenkins apparel with more styles and colors, and our first corkscrew with logo (can you believe it?) Feel free to email us at info@flemingjenkins.com if you would like more information. Backyard Wineries, located at 45 W. Main Street in downtown Los Gatos, is open from 11am to 6pm daily.
The Latest
While we joke that this is the “quiet time of year”, all of us at Fleming Jenkins have actually been staying extremely busy as usual. Greg just made his first visit of the New Year last week to the Madden Ranch to discuss pruning the vines with the vineyard team. On February 12th, we will be bottling the 2006 vintage of our Victories Rosé. We are very proud of what is inside the bottle as well as the contribution that we are able to make to breast cancer research and awareness because of it.

Upcoming Events:
February 15th, 2007 – Celebrate With Heart Gala, The Ritz Carlton, San Francisco. We are proud to be one of the wineries participating in this event, which benefits the American Heart Association. For more information, please click here.
March 13 – 15, 2007 – National Women’s Wine Competition – Fleming Jenkins has decided to enter 2 of our wines, our 2005 Victories Rosé and 2004 Napa Valley “Choreography” into our first wine competition. This is the only national wine competition judged entirely by women.

Best Regards,
Greg & Peggy
and the Fleming Jenkins Team
