Greetings!

The vines have survived earthquakes and hurricanes. Now it's time for some nice sunny weather to get them ready for harvest! We have a busy fall planned; we hope you can join us at the Tasting Room or for some exciting events.    

 

New Wines!
Another batch of wines have started to hit our shelves
TSW Web Store
Our New Cecil White
We are starting to package a new batch of wines, which will become available over the next several weeks. The tasting room and web store now have our new Cecil White as well as more Traminette in a box. We have also distributed these to a few stores and will roll them out to more over the next several weeks.

The Cecil White is a blend we developed with the help of members from our Case Club. We think they put together a winner of a blend! It's complex and has at least four varieties incorporated, but we're not telling anyone the secret recipe. We have not had a Cecil White blend since 2007, so we hope you like this version.

We are looking forward to more reds and whites rolling out over the next several weeks, just in time for Fall.

Market Day and Baseball at TSW
Celebrating our country on Patriots Day by watching our national pastime

Market Day at TSW
Market Day at TSW
On Sunday, September 11 from 12 to 6pm, we will be celebrating the fall with our second annual Market Day festival.

A Civil War-era color guard will lead us through a moment of remembrance, followed by vintage 1864 rules base ball as our home team, the Eclipse Base Ball Club of Elkton plays a split double header against the Dauntless Base Ball Club of Havre de Grace and the Chesapeake Nine of Baltimore. There will be food, crafts and, of course, wine.

Weather and grapes permitting, we may also be harvesting that day. If you are potentially interested in helping to harvest the grapes, please take a second to complete our Harvest Interest form and let us know. We'll let everyone know whether we are going to harvest about a week in advance.
