WINE MESSENGER                     September, 2011
 

 

Greetings!

     

"I've got a CRUSH on you..."  CRUSH is coming and it's on our mind.

So many great visuals and memories are in the making for our visitors! During this very busy time of year for a winery.  Road Trip!

We hope you'll join us to CaTCH THe CRuSH here the weekend of September 24th and 25th where the Columbia and Yakima Valleys intersect and produce amazing wines.  


Check out our schedule of events below including our Member's Only Haute Dog BBQ and much more... 

 

Just a heads-up, our '09 Roussanne is going fast...get it NOW!  Only $20 a bottle.  Mmmmmmm.   

A great way to enjoy autumn.  Eat. Sip.  Love.      

 

You can also give us a call at 509-627-0266, check out our website or email us.    

 

From the Barnard Griffin family to yours, Cheers!

CaTCH The CRuSH at Barnard Griffin

 
Catch the Crush indeed! Stop by the winery to 'cellarbrate' and sample some of our newest arrivals. While you're here, you can mingle in our 'Member's Only' section. You don't even need a jacket. 

It's how we celebrate the harvest.  Lotsa fun and activity at the winery.  May we suggest that the CRUSH is road trip worthy?    We'll pull some library wines out of our secret deep cellar for this event. Watch the nectar of the gods being made where the Columbia and Yakima Valleys meet and mingle.
