Harvest 2002- For those of you that attended our harvest party and picked Gewürztraminer for Die Sonne, that wine is in the fermentor and perking away slowly but surely- lots of spice flavor with maybe a touch of acetic quality that should diminish as the yeasts do their magic. - Watch this space

Rainy Day Fine Tawny Port from the oldest tier of the three-tier solera I started 20 years ago. This is the ultimate in a rich dessert and appetizer wine. A rich tawny hue from years of barrel aging, a distinct nuttiness with overtones of caramel, hazelnuts, and cloves, this wine is ready to drink now. Pour a small glass, toss a log on the fire, grab a good book, maybe a hunk of sharp cheddar or a blue cheese and some walnuts- it doesn't get any better. This wine will be available by about 11/15. Most of it is already allotted to previous purchasers, as we can only bottle a little more than 500 bottles. However, if this wine is of interest to you, please call or e-mail me and I will add your name to the list and if some is available, contact you to make arrangements to get you some. If you live near one of the areas listed at the end of this newsletter, you can meet me to pick some up- $34.99/750ml
