Over two decades ago when we moved here the population sign said "25." About a decade later they put up a sign that said "146" but somebody stole it within days, apparently not able to cope with the growth.

A few years back we found the sign had been changed to "317." We're wondering when a new sign is put up based on the current census figures, some folks might feel 400 or more is too many and start an exodus. Yet with a blink of the eye, you can still miss Yorkville...

New Release - the perfect picnic wine!

We consider this a “Cabernet Franc Lite.” Since the color of wine comes from the skins, after 35 hours of soaking we removed the skins to produce a wine with a very pretty, bright, ruby red color.

Fantastic as an evening aperitif on the deck or at picnics, the beach or summer outdoor concerts. You will find that this wine is dry and its juicy, fresh, mouth-watering flavors allow it to pair well with a range of summer dishes. Some ideas: BBQ chicken, wok-charred crisp vegetables, grilled fish with chutney, summer pastas, or cold shrimp with sweet-spicy cocktail sauces.

Regularly priced at $18 per bottle, as our July Special savings can reach $90. Guaranteed the best price of the year.
