| 2008 Victories Rosé Release | |
|
We are excited that the release for the 2008 vintage of Victories is right around the corner - Friday, April 3rd. The 2008 vintage was
produced from a blend of 83% Syrah and 17% Pinot Noir. Victories is a wonderful dry California Rosé with ripe fresh fruit aromas and
flavors, and was created to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness. Since the 2004 vintage we have donated over $20,000
to charities supporting the cause, an average of $2 per bottle sold. Please be sure to come by our Tasting Room to be one of the first
to try this very popular wine, or click here to order online.
Wine Club Members – you will be able to pick up your Victories Rosé shipment starting on Friday, April 3rd. Please join us for the Victories Rosé Pick Up Party on Saturday, April 4th. We look forward to seeing you soon! |

| 49ers Foundation Winter & Wine Fest Recap | |
| Greg and Peggy just returned from spending the weekend at the San Francisco 49ers Foundation Winter & Wine Fest. They enjoyed joining an exclusive group of premier California wineries providing wine for the attendees. Squaw Valley came alive during the three-day event that included a ski race between Olympians, coaches, ownership and alumni, silent and live auctions, live music and a focus on great wine and food. Our auction lot had spirited bidding and raised $5,000 for the Foundation. Peggy hosted an ice skating session on the outdoor rink and had fun teaching skating! |  |
