E- News from the Balistreri Tasting Room                                 Fall 2008

 

Dear Wine Club , collage 

 

 As Autumn approaches we have some exciting news and events to share with you. September marks our 10th Anniversary! We crushed our first grapes in September 1998 and produced 22 Barrels of wine our first year. Celebrate with us by stopping in the tasting room anytime this crush season and catch winemaker John sharing some of his "old" Library Wines.

 

BALISTRERI VINEYARDS Est.1998

 

First, in appreciation for your support and patronage we invite you to join us this Labor Day Weekend on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday from noon to 5:00 PM, we will be serving complimentary Pizza baked fresh in our  wood-fired Pizza Oven. 

 

Based on the cherry and peach crops, this years crush season may be a week or two later than last year. We may be crushing well into November. So while the grapes are ripening on the Western Slope, we will  be bottling some great new 2007 wines, and releasing them at many of our Fall events, including the long awaited Little Feet Merlots.

( Parents, we'll let you know as soon as we bottle these delicious Merlots.)

 

Hope to see you soon......
