| Looking Back | |
|
This past month has been a whirlwind for all of us at Fleming Jenkins, but it was definitely filled with memorable experiences. On May
31st Greg and Peggy were invited to participate in an industry event at the Playboy Mansion, “Hollywood and Vino”. They both had a
wonderful time, Greg was able to live his childhood dream of getting his picture taken with a “bunny”, and we were able to meet some key
contacts to help in our recent launch into the Southern California wine distribution market. We are also very close to finalizing
distribution in the states of Colorado and Texas.
Our Tasting Room has been a very busy place! We started the month off with the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers’ Association annual Vintners’ Festival event. This was followed closely by a ribbon cutting ceremony and our Grand Opening celebration which lasted all weekend. Not only did our new and returning customers enjoy the chance to taste our wines and mingle with Greg and Peggy, we raised over $1,100 for local charities. What a great weekend! |

| 2005 Madden Ranch Syrah - SOLD OUT | |
| The 2005 Madden Ranch Syrah is officially sold out and the 2006 vintage will be released in the next few months. All of our wines are extremely limited production and have been very well received by our customers. One way to guarantee that you will get our memorable wines before they sell out is to join our Wine Club. | |
| Gregg Gorham - Tasting Room Manager | |

My name is Gregg Gorham and I’m ecstatic to have joined the Fleming Jenkins team, and starting just as we re-opened in May made it extra
special for me. My love affair with wine led me to work for two other local wineries prior to Fleming Jenkins, which was a dream of mine
after working as an accountant with the high-tech industry. I now have 19 years of winery experience and over 25 years working in the
food/lifestyle industry and I still love it!
Being a third generation Bay Area native I have always supported the local wineries and restaurants – I guess you could call me a foodie as well as a wine-guy. My favorite quote describes me well. Whether with friends and family or just new acquaintances, “I drink to the enjoyment o’ the whole table” (Macbeth – Shakespeare). I look forward to meeting everyone soon so stop by and say “hi”. I’d love to get to know all of our very special Club Members. |
