The Cellar Experience

A new addition in the winery is our Cellar Experience bar in the tank area of the wine cellar itself. We often get jammed with groups mid-afternoon on weekends at our regular Tasting Bar and have to turn away big groups. Now we have a special place to serve groups from 8-20 people who either call in ahead of time or even just show up. We created a new bar in the wine cellar to accommodate these groups. So for $5 per person, a group will get a tasting of either six sweet or six dry wines with an experienced server-- often one of us owners. Away from the hubbub of the Tasting Room, it provides the customer with a unique experience. We had fun making the bar top ourselves by slapping down old Vynecrest wine labels, some dating back to the early '90s! We can also use this bar for future barrel tastings, tastings at the end of a group tour, any number of occasions. We also spruced up the adjacent old bathroom which is now painted "barn red." Come check it out the next time you visit!

DSCN0898

Come join us to celebrate Maizey's 12th Birthday. Our beloved winery head honcho Maizey is turning 12 years old on July 10th. As thanks for all of the crackers, cheese and other crumbs that she has eaten off the floors here for years she wants to finally give back. On July 10th, both Autumn Gold and Summertime Red (Maizey adorns both labels) will be 25% off all day from 11:00am - 5:30 here at the winery. In addition, Vynecrest will be donating $1.00 from the sale of each of those wines on that day to the Sanctuary at Haafsville in honor of Maizey. In Lieu of gifts for Maizey, feel free to bring in any other pet donations as well, as we will have a collection area that we will be taking over to the Sanctuary.

By John Landis,

July! July means being outdoors as much as possible! Picnics, swimming,fireworks, ball games, festivals and drinking summer wines on the patio. In July, we celebrate the Fourth, Maizey's birthday, our 41st year as a vineyard and a trip to Maine.

In July, I love to watch the explosive growth of the vines and the ripening of the grapes. So far, this year's crop looks great. Without tornados, hail or hurricanes, we are good to go! Keep those fingers crossed.

Cheers!
