The new vintage or our award-winning Seyval Blanc (yes, that was a GOLD medal!) was released December 1st. Made with 2008 Seyval Blanc grapes from our own vines, this dry white has a grape-fruit and lime character with a crisp finish.
Also being released soon is our Chamborcin 2008. This dry red wine made from Indiana-grown grapes has a popular following with an aromatic plum and cherry character that leaves a full-bodied taste on the palate.
Exact release date for the Chamborcin has not been determined, so check our website, call, or click the link below to know availability.

| Girls Nights Out to resume in Spring |
|
|
Our first W.I.N.O.S. (Women in Need of Shopping) event was such a hit, we've tentatively scheduled 3 more in the Spring: March 18, April 15, and May 20. The format will be similar-- women can shop among a marketplace of vendors, sample and purchase wines, enter drawings for prizes, and socialize with their friends-- but we will likely recommend reservations due to the popularity of the night. If you would like to receive email notifications of upcoming Girls Nights Out at Satek, click this link below and give us your email address.

With winter weather upon us, be sure to check our website for weather-related delays or closings for the winery before you head out to visit us. We update our site via Twitter, so information will be more current there than calling. |

While the family is around for the holidays, and of course, enjoying a glass of Satek Wine, snap a couple of pictures. Our photo contest is still accepting entries, and you could win a gift certificate to help replenish your wine rack after the relatives go home.

Satek Winery's eNewsletter |
Greetings!
The holidays are upon us! Time to celebrate the season with family and friends, and of course, lots of good food and great wine. We are sending out this months newsletter a little early since we know you'll all soon be husting and bustling to prepare for your holiday gatherings. If you have family in town for a few days, consider bringing them to Satek for a wine tasting. We are open every day of the week (even Sundays) for free tastings from 10 a.m.-6p.m., except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. We promise to spread the tiding of comfort and joy with every pour!
From everyone here at Satek Winery, have a wonderful holiday season! |
Holiday Gift Guide
For the wine lovers on your shopping list, look no further than Satek Winery! You know you don't really want to navigate the mall anyway, and you can find more unique gifts and indulge in a little wine tasting while you're here. What could be better?
Here's a new twist on the traditional holiday fruit basket, that may actually be even more appreciated! We can custom-make a gift basket for you with any combination of your favorite fruit wines: Raspberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, and Mango. We include serving suggestions and recipe ideas and a Satek Winery corkscrew. Price of basket is based on the wines you choose to include.
Fruit Basket, as shown with all four fruit wines: $74.96
Wine stoppers
Whatever your gift recipient's interests, we probably have a pewter wine stopper to match. These attractive real-cork stoppers both decorate bottles and preserve the wine inside (they can even be used to close oil & vinegar bottles too). Our wide variety of designs include themes of golf, nautical/boating, fishing, motorcycles, dogs, cats, lighthouses, frogs, dolphins, and of course, wine.
Merlot-scented soy candles
These soy candles burn cleaner and longer than wax candles and are scented like Merlot, but the best part just may be the reusable Satek stemless wine glass they will have when the candle is gone. Pair them with our artisan-made candle holders shaped like poinsettias or holly leaves, and you've got the perfect gift.
Merlot-scented soy candle: $7.50
Candleholder: $12.00
Handpainted Christmas wine glasses
Each year, local artist Tarma Van Aken creates for us an exclusive, limited-edition handpainted Christmas glass. The 2009 design features contemporary dotted circles in green, gold, red, and white on a red wine glass. Each glass is numbered and dated. This year we also have matching acrylic wine chillers and pitchers as well.
Handpainted Christmas wine glasses: $10.99
Matching chiller: $20.99
Matching pitcher: $23.99
Saving corks after enjoying your favorite bottles of wine is nothing new, but these cork cages are a fun and novel way to display them. Made of metal and embedded with colorful glass marbles, you can be sure this gift will be enjoyed for years to come. Choose wine bottle shape or wine barrel shape.
Cork cage: $24.00 each |
| Food & wine pairings for holiday meals
Let us help take a bit of the stress out of your holiday meal planning. No, we're not going to come over and cook for you, nor even wash your dishes. But, we can help you pick wines to pair with your meals. Because personal opinion factors in a bit in this, we are offering two different perspectives. Weighing in are myself (Chrissie Koher) and Jason Satek, son of winery owner Larry Satek.
If you are preparing a traditional glazed ham dinner, He said: Kreibaum Bay Dry Rose, 2008.
She said: Kreibaum Bay Dry Reisling, 2007.
For beef tenderloin, roast beef, or brisket,
He said: Syrah, 2006. She said: DeChaunac, 2008.
For a roast leg of lamb, He said: Kreibaum Bay Sangiovese, 2006 or Old Vine Red Zinfandel, 2006. She said: Marechal Foch, 2008.
For pheasant or quail, He said: Vidal Blanc, 2007. She said: Pinot Noir, 2007.
At the dessert course:
For plum pudding or custards, He said: Steuben Krystal Ice Wine, 2007. She said: Kreibaum Bay Steuben Dessert Wine, 2008.
For mincemeat pie, He said: Blueberry. She said: Kreibaum Bay Port, 2007.
For any chocolate dessert, He said: Raspberry. She said: Raspberry Wine, what else!
Let's not forget about New Year's Day: The traditional Southern meal includes pork or hog jowls, black-eyed peas, collard greens and corn bread.
He said: Kreibaum Bay Dry Reisling, 2007.
She said: Chardonnay, 2008. But if you truly intend to eat that stuff, have lots of Pepto Bismol on hand.
Keep in mind that the above is just suggested pairings, and truly whatever you enjoy is the "proper" wine to serve.
But if you, like me, are a little uncertain of your culinary skills, refer to our favorite apron in our gift shop: "If you don't like the food, drink more wine!" At least we can help you get the wine part right... |
