Remember the 2006 Colorado Zinfandel that was only availabe for tasting during the holiday season? We are very excited to announce that it received a double gold medal at the Tasters Guild International Wine Judging. It has also received a Silver at the International Eastern Wine Competition and a Bronze at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. This wine was a favorite of winemaker John Balistreri, from the day it was bottled. We are very pleased that the international judges recognize how incredible this wine really is.

Wine & Movie Night at Balistreri Vineyards
Under the Stars
Saturday July 26th 2008

 

postinoJoin us under the stars for a private screening of an Italian Film classic, the academy award winning film, Il Postino (The Postman). Winner of 5 Best Foreign Language Film Awards in 1995, the story of a fisherman on a small Italian island whose life is changed by a chance encounter with the famous poet, Pablo Neruda.

 

The life of the fisherman Mario changes dramatically when the famous Chilean writer Pablo Neruda settles on his little Italian island. Living in exile because of his political beliefs, Neruda needs a postman to deliver the huge quantities of mail sent to him by his admirers and Mario takes the job since he hates fishing anyway. The two become friends and Neruda helps the shy and clumsy Mario gain courage to approach Beatrice, the beautiful waitress at the village's inn, by showing him the beauty and power of poetry.
