| Both Syrahs On Our Tasting List Again | |
| We released our newest wine, the 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah, earlier this month and now visitors to the Tasting Room can sample both Fleming Jenkins Syrahs - our ever-popular 2008 Madden Ranch Syrah sourced in the Livermore Valley Appellation, and the new Syrah sourced locally. It is educational and fun to experience how the same grape varietal grown in different climates can make two wines that are similar, but at the same time very different from one another. | |
| Town of Los Gatos Time Capsule | |
|
On Tuesday, June 21st, the Los Gatos community celebrated the
installation of a Time Capsule near the entryway to the new Los Gatos
Library. A commemorative plaque will identify the Town's bicentennial on
August 10, 2087 as the opening date for the Time Capsule.
Included in the Time Capsule was a bottle of Fleming Jenkins 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah, personalized and signed by Greg and Peggy. As residents of Los Gatos for over 33 years, this is a great honor for the winery and them. They told their grandkids about the Time Capsule, and will count on them to be in Los Gatos when it is opened 76 years from now! For more information on the Time Capsule, click here. |
