We have some very exciting news to share about our newly released 2008 wines. First our 2008 Petite Sirah received a Double Gold medal and Best of Show this last weekend at The Colorado Mountain Wine Fest! And, 8 other new releases also received medals! We can't wait for you to taste these luscious new wines. All 9 award winners along with many more, some we are bottling this week, will be poured next Sunday October 4th at our 7th Annual Harvest Party. Please join us as we celebrate the 2009 harvest and enjoy the new 2008's. scroll down for details and to purchase tickets. Hope to see you there!

It's crush time here at the winery! "Tons" of grapes are arriving from Colorados' western slope. So we thought you may enjoy a few photos 9/24/09 (Chardonnay & Merlot). Our first 8000 lbs of Merlot were stomped last weekend at Festival Italiano by 2500 little feet at the Balistreri Childrens Grape Stomp. The aromas in the fermentation building are delicious. The next Little Feet Stomp will be at 2pm Sunday October 4th at the Harvest party.
