| Countdown to Victories Rosé Release | |

On February 6th we bottled the 2008 vintage of our Victories Rosé. The 2007 Victories was a favorite among our members and customers and
has been sold out since October. We are excited to let you know that we have set the release date for the 2008 vintage for Friday, April
3rd. The 2008 vintage was made from a blend of 83% Syrah and 17% Pinot Noir, and as always, $2 from every bottle sold will be donated to
breast cancer research and awareness. Please be sure to come by our Tasting Room to be one of the first to try this great wine.
Wine Club Members – you will be able to pick up your Victories Rosé shipment starting on Friday, April 3rd. Please be sure to save the date for our Victories Rosé Pick Up Party scheduled for Saturday, April 4th. We look forward to seeing you soon! |

| Grow Your Own Chardonnay | |
| Have you ever wanted to start a small vineyard of your own? Here is your chance to plant a few vines, regardless of the size of your yard! The weekend of March 14th and 15th, visit our tasting room to get your very own ready to plant Chardonnay canes from Greg and Peggy’s home vineyard. These canes, which are about a foot long, can be planted in your yard or planter boxes and are a great conversation piece. In addition to complimentary canes you will receive instructions on how to take care of the vine that grows from it. As the vine develops, feel free to contact us for suggestions on how to maintain and prepare the vine for the various seasons. |  |
