This month we're featuring our Randle Hill Vineyard Semillon, which is the sister grape to the more familiar Sauvignon Blanc. With limited plantings in California, it is becoming difficult to find Semillon bottled separately. This wine was awarded 90 points and Best of Class at the California State Fair. However we're nearing the end of the supply. Some time in the bottle has improved it. Semillon is a terrific wine to match with all sorts of crab and other seafood dishes. Regular price $20. During the month of January you can save: Our 2007 Semillon wine vintage for $16. 2007 Semillon at $16 each
Monthly Special offer ends promptly on Sunday, January 31st and applies to web and telephone orders (707) 894-9177. This offer can not be combined with any other discount or promotion.
P.S. If you're interested in older vintages of Semillon, please give us a call to discuss what we have available from our cellar. Harvest Video A look back at one of our typical harvest days in Yorkville last autumn. Click here for a quick look at the action... as captured by Mark of Redwood Video.
