Dear Friends,
I hope you had a great holiday season with your family and friends. I look forward to being your Patron Saint of Tanninst for 2024, and beyond. What I tasted in barrel (and bottle) of what is yet to be released from the 2021, 2022 and 2023, is outstanding!
We can say that 2023 was an interesting year, to say the least.
Wine wise, it was a some what “normal”, yet late harvest. The quantity and quality of the 2023 harvest seem to tell us very positive things, quantity up from previous years, and the quality is very high!
I want to cross my fingers that we don’t experience weather conditions like we did in late 2022, and the first months of 2023, when non-stop atmospheric rivers literally “attacked” us. Unfortunately, those winter storms were not kind to my family either, as we encountered major damage to our property. Sadly the insurance company did not pay out, and what is even more upsetting is the fact that they had raised our rates 600% just a few months prior to our claim. So let us hope this winter is not as severe to anyone.
Enough about that. Bottom line, we are OK, we made the repairs and that is all I have to say about that (remember the quote from Tom Hanks…)
On a wine, not whine note…, and as a “Thank You” for the years of support, and a welcome the New Year, I want to offer our entire inventory at 10% OFF.
Use code NEWYEAR during checkout, to receive 10% OFF our wines (sorry no discount on wines already on sale)
Happy Sipping,
