JANUARY 2019
DID YOU KNOW. . .THAT OUR TASTING ROOM IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE WINTER SEASON?

Yes it is, once again. And after all these years, I still keep thinking of how I might run my little business a bit more effectively. Most of you know that Jerry and I hop back and forth from here to New Jersey. So, why not make our  wines available to you when we're here?  Seems a little dumb that it took me so long to come up with this idea; but all you have to do is check out the Wine List for what's available, then call me at 845-331-8642 and leave your name and number. If I'm in New York, I'll call you back as soon as possible to schedule your pickup. If I'm away, I'll call back as soon as I get home.

I know it's a little late in the game but don't buy a wine you haven't tasted and don't feel you're putting me out. REMEMBER -- I live next door! Anyway, I'd love seeing you -- three months away and I get lonely. Ha!

DECEMBER 2018
DID YOU KNOW. . .that we'll be open Christmas Eve until. . .? And our 20% OFF "CLOSING FOR THE SEASON" WINE SALE starts on December 26th until New Year's Eve. Don't forget, folks, we sell out of a lot of your favorites; so, come early if you can.

                                                            Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,
                                                                         Maryl and Jerry

DID YOU KNOW. . .the cellar isn't empty any more! I just finished bottling Chardonnay, Merlot, Black Bear and Golden Oak. On Monday morning I'll finish Sweet Madeleine although I still have a few bottles left upstairs. Sadly, I thought I might be able to do Cabernet Franc before we close for the season but that's not going to happen unless. . . I'll keep everyone informed if there's any changes on the Franc.

DID YOU KNOW. . . that the wine cellar is almost empty? It's true. Check out this month's "Wine List". It's scary but, not to worry. I promise to put myself in the cellar starting this week so that all your favorites will be on the shelf before Christmas. I must say, that in 20 years I don't think the cellar has ever been this bare this close to closing for the season.

Right now the "cellar" thing seems daunting to me. But I can only think it's a REALLY good thing. Jerry and I have commented any number of times about how many folks have come to the winery while staying at "Air B and B's this season or up from the city for the day. We've never seen anything like it. Hopefully folks are feeling a little secure with their jobs or maybe even thinking about changing their job. This is a good thing -- especially if it continues. 

Also, did you know that the winery will be closing for the season on New Year's Eve? It's true and I can't believe it. Maybe it's because we really didn't have a nice Summer. Wait! What am I saying? We didn't have a summer at all! The only thing I remember is rain, rain, rain. Believe it or not, it rained so much, we had to cancel seven Friday nights in a row of our  "Wine, Cheese and a Sunset"! Don't laugh. It's not funny. Jerry and I had to eat all that cheese!!
