Come either Saturday or Sunday October 7 & 8
Your final four wines of the current Gold member
cycle are ready for you to enjoy. If you are able to
break away on either Saturday or Sunday October
7th or 8th, please come join us for our annual
Oktoberfest weekend and new release pick-up party.
We will treat you to our Oktoberfest lunch consisting
of wood-fired oven fresh onion bread, carmelized
onions and cabbage, applesauce and bratwurst.
The new wines include our 2005 Queen's Gold (a charming blend of chardonnay fruit, toasty French oak and crisp sauvignon blanc), our 2005 Sangre de Montana (endless bright cherry/berry flavors make this dry rose are real pleaser even to stuck up red wine only drinkers), our first estate Cabernet Franc (this 2003 vintage has developed into a classic with its oak aging and year of bottle aging too) and last but not least our 2003 Estate Zinfandel. Come and get 'em. If you've been thinking of becoming a member, this would be a great time to join. Why not treat yourself to membership. Remember Gold Members start with a 25% discount on your first bottle every day. Then enjoy an extra 10% added to other discounts that we offer. Plus 10% off on all non-wine merchandise. |

Saturday and Sunday October 7th & 8th
Enjoy a little tradition during this harvest season with
a visit to Fitzpatrick's. I fire up the wood oven and
create a Oktoberfest luncheon plate of fresh-baked
onion bread,
carmelized onions and cabbage, applesauce and oven
roasted bratwurst.
And while you're here, taste our lineup of wines, especially the four new releases: 2005 Queen's Gold, 2005 Sangre de Montana (could be the winning combo with the Oktoberfest plate), our first estate Cabernet Franc and the new 2003 Zinfandel. And for some unthinkable reason you want to enjoy a beer, no worries, we've got a handsome collection from which to choose. |

Celebration of the new King's Red XII and Queen's Gold
Yes, a new king is born. And on Saturday, November
4th the King's Red XII will be coronated at a Medieval
Banquet in the Great Room at Fitzpatrick's. Only a
very select group of Lords and Ladies will come enjoy
the great feast with King Brendan, the XIIth. The
feast will consist of wood-fired oven breads, meats
and specialties paired with two new royal wines: the
2005 Queen's Gold and the King's Red XII. Period
attire is highly recommended to fully appreciate the
festivities.
This noble night to remember will be attended by the first 50 of the King's loyal subjects and the tax man will collect a $50 fee. You're all invited but to actually make the King's list call us at 800-245-9166 asap. And believe it or not we have held a few rooms just for this weekend. It's a two night minimum because there will be no time for cleaning rooms the day of the great feast. |

The Poet's Choice Series
Never had a white port? Remember our 2002 vintage?
Well our 2004 Joyce's
Preoccupations is finally bottled and ready to enjoy.
We may start to sneak preview this elixir before its
official release. And add to that a new Z3 Cuvee of
Zin Port plus another great vintage of Morrissey's
Journey (ruby port of Syrah) and we have got an
unrivaled lineup of estate grown organically farmed
ports found anywhere. Our official new Ports release
party date will be in November but we will sneak
preview one or two before that during this harvest
season at the tasting room.
We currently pour tastes of our 2003 Wilde's Soul of Man ( made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet ports) and the 2003 Morrissey's Journey (the rich ruby port cuvee of Syrah). Just like firewood, stock up on our deliscious ports for those cozy evenings by the fire. |
