2007 Sierra Dreams is here!
  the right wine, in the right place, at the right time - Summertime!
Our new release just in time for Summer. I know many of you red wine snobs poopoo even the notion of anything pink. But for those who appreciate a chilled fruit-filled refreshment on a hot summer's night, 2007 Sierra Dreams is all about the stuff dreams are made of. A medley of red grapes like Syrah, Cabernet, Barbera, Zinfandel and others make up this handsome rose. A touch of sweetness magnifies the strawberry/raspberry flavors but is nicely balanced with the wines acidity. This unpretentious socializer will sure to be a big hit poolside and otherwise all during the heat of summer and fall. Still only $10.
Friday Wood-Fired Oven Pizza Nights
  Friday nights through mid-October
You've heard about it, many of you have been already; this is our 12th year of Friday Night Wood-Fired Oven Pizza. Just remember to call starting the Monday of the week you want to attend for reservations - 530-620- 3248.

There's entertainment too. Every first Friday it's folk- duo Anderson & Gram, every third Friday it's blues guitarist Johnny Mojo & Friends. Then on occasion the other Fridays may have music too or just a evening of Peace and Pizza. June 27th is a special appearance of a local trio anchored by my longtime friend Gary Martin on bass driving Jazz rythyms and rifts.

Enjoy Earth's longest day with local duo Blue Sky Day
  Sunday June 22nd
Come enjoy a Blue Sky Day on Sunday June 22nd as the summer sun is in all its glory. Locals Betsy Moore and Ripley Howe rearrainge some great cover songs from the oldies forward. Order a Ploughman's Lunch, a bottle of wine, find a shady spot and settle in to enjoy the spectacular views and the music of Blue Sky Day. Music starts shortly after 1pm.

The Summer Solstice is reason enough for celebration. But being the longest day, we will roll out the longest list of one-day only wine specials you don't want to miss.

Summer is a great time to book a couple nights at our Lodge
  Our 25 meter lap pool can tame the hottest of Summer days.
We're just about an hour away but a world apart from the hustle and noise of the city. Checking into our Lodge for a couple of days during the week this summer may be the perfect little getaway. No matter how hot it may get, there's relief waitng in our long lap pool. But before and after your dips in the cool refreshing water, just sitting under the shade of bamboo and Wisteria bathing your eyes in our panoramic 360 view makes the trip all worthwhile.

Check out our availability online 24/7. During the week you may be able to be a little spontaneous and give us a call at the last minute. That's always fun just to get up and do something fun and relaxing.

If a good book isn't doesn't keep your attention, make sure to have brought your laptop. Poolside in the shade or in the Lodge you can surf the web all you want with our wi-fi.

Come visit me at the Farmers Markets
  Taste Z Vinegar live and 50 - they'll change the way you think about vinegar.
Meet me at the markets Saturday morning in Davis and Sundays in Sacramento. Remember too that if you would like your order of Fitzpatrick wines brought especially for you to either market, all I need is a phone call a day ahead of time. Easy enough and you'll save a little gas too.
