Every year our Chicago Distributor, Winesellers,  hosts a wine tasting Gala giving us the opportunity to meet with them, showcase our wine and meet their national sales representatives.

		<description><![CDATA[Some wines, like the Santa Barbara Winery Chardonnay, of which we are bottling over 20,000 cases are difficult to blend. Difficult because our tank capacity is limited and there are so many components. The solution is to rent a wine tanker for a few days. The tanker has a capacity of 6500 gals., equal to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently in the winery we bottled our second ever release of Petit Verdot. Petit Verdot is an interesting grape. It is historically one of the red varieties of Bordeaux.

		<description><![CDATA[These are fairly young vines, planted 7 or 8 years ago. The block is probably our sandiest and growth has been very slow. Vines that are not vigorous usually produce excellent wine and our experience, so far, certainly confirms this. This year the vines look very healthy with many double clusters promising a good harvest. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Bruce first identified a section of Hilltop Ranch Vineyard as being particularly well suited to making rosé, we were becoming aware of a re-energized interest in these wines produced in a dry style with serious winemaking techniques. A dry rose is a prized complement to food and company, particularly well suited for warm summer [...]]]></description>
