Taste of Spring event to benefit Warren revitalization projects
 
 

On May 5th

Satek Winery will again be the exclusive wine purveyor this year at Taste of Spring, a fundraiser at Dogwood Glen Golf Course in Warren, Indiana to benefit Warren Downtown Revitalization. This elegant event combines delectable food, wine tasting, beer sampling by Mad Anthony's Brewery, and exciting silent auction items. Tickets can be purchased in advance by contacting xxx.

Greetings!Dry Traminette and Traminette

 

May is one of my favorite months. It's full of anticipation, with Spring in full bloom and the glimpse of the summer lake season off in the not-so-far distance. The warmer weather here at the winery means we pull out the picnic tables, put up the tents, and groom the landscaping in preparation for our patrons' "al fresco" enjoyment of our wines.

 

Speaking of anticipation, this weekend we'll celebrate "Tram-MAY-nette" with the long-awaited release of our Traminette wines! Traminette was designated two years ago as Indiana's Signature Wine. The grape, a hybrid cross of Gewurztraminer and Joannes Seyve 23-416, was developed by Cornell University to grow well in Midwestern climates. The wine is known for its strong floral character, spice notes, fruity aromatics, and minor grapefruit character. Flavors can range from apricots and peaches to passionfruit, pears, and honey.

 

Try on TraminetteLast year's Traminette sold out in just a couple of months, so fans of this locally-grown, semi-dry white wine have been waiting nearly a year to get their hands on more of it. We made about twice as much this year-- but don't wait too long to stop in and get yours. If you are drawn to our Riesling, Soren's Favorite, or Autumn Classic, then our semi-dry Traminette is for you!

 

In addition, our winemakers again created a Dry Traminette wine this year, which will be released in tandem with the semi-dry Traminette. Although you often find Traminette made as a sweeter wine, we felt that a dry version brought out the best of the floral and spice notes that the grape is known for. If you like our Seyval Blanc or Dry Riesling, then our Dry Traminette is a must-try!

 

With all we have to offer this month, we "anticipate" seeing your soon!

 

Sl�inte!
