2015 Wine tasting results
But, before we share the results or our Wine Tasting event, just a quick “Thank You”!
To those of you who contributed: Thanks for sharing your wine. They were all delicious!
To those of you who stopped by, tasted, and voted: Thanks for all of your “hard work”!
It was a pleasure to see all of you (and finally meet some of you). It was a fun time for us, we trust that it was for you as well.
Now, let’s get to the 2015 Wine Tasting Results:
We had three categories: Red, White, and Dessert/Fruit Wines. The wine receiving the highest number of votes in each individual category will receive a $50 Wines By Design Gift Certificate.
Additionally, an Overall Winner (the winner with the greatest number of votes) will receive an additional $50 Gift Certificate.

Spring
Spring vineyard
(Well, at least it’s on the calendar…)
Just a quick reminder: Spring is almost here and now is the time to put up your summer wines!
We suggest that whites age about three months, so now is the time to start a batch! If you enjoy a nice Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer or even a fruit wine on a mid-summer night’s eve, consider starting a batch this month.
We’ll even offer an incentive to help you enjoy those starry nights! For the entire month of March, we’ll take 15% off of our fruit wine kit price.
Stop in and start a batch of white or fruit wine for your summer enjoyment.
As a quick reminder: you can sign up for our newsletter on our Contact page.
New hours
We’ve been hearing some gentle suggestions from our customers that it would be easier for them if we could tweak the store hours a little bit. We know that everyone’s busy and has a lot on their plates, and we’d like to listen. See below for our new store hours.
We heard that you want your Saturday afternoons back. Effective immediately, we will open Saturday morning an hour earlier (and close an hour earlier) making the Saturday store hours: 9:00a – 2:00p.
As always, check out our web site for up to date store hours and announcements.
Welcome to our new web site! We hope you’ll like what we have in store. We’ve got a new look and feel, as well as some additional new content. We’ll update you with news, upcoming specials and events, let you know when new kits are available and share some of our customers stories with you! Stay tuned… there’s a lot more yet to come!
Or, better yet, sign up for our email list and we’ll send announcements right to your inbox!
Join us soon and create great wine with your family and friends!
