Happy Holidays
Let's Share the Joy
Greetings!
 
We're going all out this holiday season. But we need your help. And we know you may need ours as well. There's a lot of people pinching pennies this year. A lot of folks are working harder, getting less, just to make ends meet. Some may be suffering from depression. Others can't even find a job. So it's up to us, you and me, to do something about it - share the joy of the season with everyone around us. If we each do a little, a lot will get done.

Step number one, I am cutting my prices in half on most all of our wines now through the January 3rd (see details below).

Step number two, buy as much as you can, at least twice as much as you would have, and share Fitzpatrick wines with family, friends and beyond.

Step number three, pass the word on so we can partner with as many people as possible and let the good cheer flow.

Together we can make a difference.
50% OFF should get the wine flowing and brighten the holidays

Mix up a case, mix two or three cases - we're giving you half of what you buy for FREE! That's right and the timing couldn't be any better than right now for the entire holiday season. And imagine how much joy you can bring to your family, friends, neighbors, business colleages, your employees and customers, etc. with a gift of good cheer especially in a year like this. You can do it and we can help.

At 50% OFF our wines will only cost between $5 and $10 a bottle - that's amazing and we're happy and thankful we can do this right now.

Pick from our 2007 Chardonnay, 2007 Eire Ban, 2007 Sierra Dreams, 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006 Cabernet Franc, 2006 Grenache, 2006 Merlot, 2006 Syrah, 2006 Zinfandel even our fabulous King's Red XIII the Royal Flush.

Pick up at the winery, place your order online or call to be shipped or call in your order ahead of time for pickup at one of our Farmers Markets. Easy enough, I'd say.

The wines will be the new 2008 Chardonnay, Tippitonia the Basque Heritage Red and two reds selected by the winemaker (me) from our Library. This will complete the 2009 cycle and if you think you haven't picked up everything like the Z4 Cuvee, just ask and we can look up your history on our POS system. If you tell me ahead of time you can pick up your wines at one of our Farmers Market too. Otherwise we'll be waiting your arrival at the tasting room where you can stock up on that fabulous 50% deal for December too.

FYI - Next year 2010 Wine fellowship Cycle will include the rare 2008 Pinot Noir, our first Petite Sirah, a new blend of the fabled Tir na nOg, the 30th Anniversary Zinfandel, our Euro-style dry rose 2009 Sangre de Montana and much more. We'll make 2010 an exciting year and you're invited of course.

Come experience our Log Lodge during the holidays
Weather's not a problem. If it's not stormy and raining, we're above the fog and you can enjoy sitting in the winter's sun sipping wine reading a book taking in the freshest air  outside in our new garden patio. And at night or during stormy weather stay warm in your room by your private fireplace or join other guests in the Great Room for a fireside chat or a Big Screen movie. As we speak we have rooms available throughout December including the holiday week.

New Year's Eve weekend is available for a very special 3 night stay where the third night is half the Saturday price. What a great opportunity to share with friends or join in with the crowd gathering at either the Gold Vine Grill or Bocconato's for a special New Year's Eve affair.
 
Check availability online, then call us at 800-245-9166 for reservations. Everyone room booked in December gets a complimentary bottle of wine.
