Please note that our 2009 vintage portfolio of wines will be released on Tuesday, October 11th. Wine descriptions, personalized allocations and ordering instructions will all be sent via email. Each of our six red wines, along with the first formal Sauvignon Blanc offering, will be sold on a first come, first served basis so we encourage you to act in a timely manner.
