| confessions of a winemaker |
2006 Chardonnay will delight you!
Let me first confess, my Chardonnays of past were
hot, not in a good sense, but too high in alcohol. I'm
just a big sucker for golden grapes, waiting for every
grape to turn from green to soft gold. Gold is the color
of peak ripeness but I finally realized that's not
necessary nor desireable in Chardonnay. I finally
asked myself 'Who is drinking Chardonnay
nowadays?'. I concluded that active women (not
exclusively of course), whether
they're housewives or business executives, uncork a
bottle of cold Chardonnay late in the afternoon as they
settle in at home and begin to prepare the family meal.
And the pleasure of drinking is the drinking itself. So
more than one glass is enjoyed before dinner is even
served. With our Chardonnays of old Mama would
soon be bombed. Women want a light-in-alcohol,
delicious Chardonnay that still has flavor, character
and a touch of toasty oak notes and for a good value
because this is their everyday welcome home unwind
beverage.
Well, I can say our 2006 delivers all that and less. I say 'less' because our Chardonnay (like all our wines) is grown and processed without any toxic chemicals - its organically grown. And its lower in sulfites (less than 100ppm) than other non-organic wines (which are allowed up to 350ppm). All this makes a big difference on how you feel after enjoying your glasses of wine. So I ask you to do yourself a favor and try our new 2006 Chardonnay. Priced at a very modest $12, you could stock up with a case or two for as little as $9.00 as an introductory offer during April. Try it, I know you're gonna like it. |

After a few years fumbling around with the growing
pains of some many new wineries opening, the Fair
play Wine festival is going back to its roots - total
anarchy. Way back when, 24 years ago, the Fair Play
Wine Festival started as nothing more than three
wineries all alone here in Fair Play sharing the
promotion and dates for having our individual Open
Houses. It was so well received that it bloomed quickly
into 2 weekends. Now with 22 wineries things don't
work exactly the same. And we tried some different
ideas and failed. Failed only to make that new format a
success. But the wineries have brushed themselves
off
and are ready to deliver a new wine festival.
This year we'll start out with just one weekend, the first weekend of June - June2 &3. It looks like we may have 20 wineries participating and the ticket price has been set at only $35 good for both days. What to expect? 20 wineries doing exactly what they want to do to offer you a festival experience. You may want to visit the FairPlayWine.com website in May to get more details as they surface. Tickets can be purchased here at Fitzpatrick's or any participating winery. Being Fair Play's oldest winery, we think going back to our roots is a good thing. The Fair Play Wine festival was the biggest event of each year for 19 years running. With your help this year will be the same. Not everything old is a bad thing. You know here at Fitzpatrick's we've created many traditions over the years. And as a fun and effective way to entice Festival goers to move around more randomly, we've developed VINGO cards. Play VINGO both Saturday and Sunday and earn a thank you gift.
