Subject: Upcoming Events

Our next event is the Amador Vintner's Behind the Cellar Door being held on Saturday and Sunday, February 14th & 15th 2009.   Contact the Amador Vintner's at 209-267-2297 for tickets and more information. 

We are very sorry to announce that we lost our winery dog Hannah.  She left us in July 20th of this year.  She is very much missed by all of us and especially her daughter Lucky.  She had many problems including Addison's disease, a leaky heart valve, high blood pressure, kidney disease and very bad arthritis.  She was 13. 

We have a new dog to keep Luck company.  His name is Blue, is 7 years old, and is also a Blue Weimaraner like Hannah was.  He is such a sweet dog and he is also making a hit in the tasting room, as well as giving Lucky a run for her money.  He has much energy.  Blue came from a home in Santa Maria where his owners needed to find a home for him.  He is a welcome addition to our Winery.

We also have started a B & B otherwise know as a Bed and Breakfast.  Although we do intend serving breakfast we are trying to get people to think of B & B as Bed and bottle.  We are still in the permitting process with Amador County.  Hopefully we will be operating by the holidays.  We will have three units eventually.  Contact us for rates and availability.

Our annual winemakers dinners are coming up in mid March and early April.  Stay tuned for more info.

 August of last year we had a successful bottle your own wine and intend on having a repeat of that again. We have a red wine blend that we will be making available for a very reasonable cost.  You may bring your own bottles or purchase them at the winery.  More details will be sent to you later along with prices and instructions for advance reservations.  We also plan on providing a pasta lunch to be included.
