New I.D. law goes into effect
Recent state legislation passed in March will now require wineries-- and other retail outlets that sell alcohol-- to begin asking for photo identification of all customers who look under 50 years old.  The law will be enforced starting July 1st, but Satek Winery will begin to require ID of all customers (regardless of age) immediately to comply with this new law.  Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this causes, but we really like to stay on the good side of the excise police!
Greetings!  

toasting glassesIf you've been in to the winery on a Saturday in the past month, you may have thought it was summer here already!  With a few nice weather days, we've had a huge turnout, and everyone's feeling festive!  The good news is, our tent beside the tasting room will be back up this month, so you can plan to spend some time enjoying the outdoors with a glass of wine, good friends, and maybe even a picnic.  Plus, we've got lots of great new gift shop merchandise coming in, three new wines being released this Spring, and several fun events planned.  All the more reason to call some friends and plan a visit to Satek!  Don't forget we are closed Easter Sunday, but other than that, we are open every day of the week (yes, even Sundays!) from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. with free wine tasting.
 
We'll see you soon!
