Happy
New Year from Adams County
Winery! |
Hopefully,
everyone had a fun and festive holiday season. It's hard to
believe it's over. The Winery was quite busy during the
holidays, meeting new friends and staying in touch with all of
our old friends, but now, we're concentrating on getting ready
for another great year. Needless to say, it was quite a year
in 2007. We extend our thanks to all of you who visited us
last year and helped to make our 2007 a wonderful year!
We
have lots of exciting things planned for 2008! So, sit back
with a glass of your favorite Adams County Winery wine, and
read
on! |

"Name
That Wine" Contest |
|
We
need your help! We're gettin' ready for our newest wine
release, never before created. The wine will be released in
February and we have no idea what to call
it!
To
give you a little background on the wine: we created this wine
to celebrate St. Patty's Day, the wine is green in color, and
is totally yummy. The plan is to number each bottle as it
comes off the line. The number will be displayed as the
"Limited Edition No." on the label.
Here's
the deal, we're having a contest to name this wine. Simply
submit your suggestion as to what we should name this wine to
newsletter@adamscountywinery.com.
Deadline for submissions
is Feb. 6th. If we pick
your wine name for our newest wine release - only one will win
- you'll get the recognition for naming the wine, and the
first
bottle off the line, with the Limited Edition No. 1, signed by
our famous vintner, John.
I
can't wait to see what you guys come up with - start thinking
and sending in those ideas! |

Vintner's
Report |
|
Hello,
campers. I trust that your holidays were
terrific! We had fun here. Number one son visited
from Colorado, where he is a
graduate student at Colorado State University. Number
one daughter and her husband joined us for a belated Christmas
celebration. Good times.
I
think I announced in the last newsletter that I have entered
yet another mid-life crisis, and purchased a 2003 Indian
Spirit Motorcycle. Number one son and I went on a first day
ride on January 1st, and then another ride during the warm
weather that we had here in Paradise. Now, I want to make two
things perfectly clear to all my biker friends. One, I
have an Indian and you (probably) don't. Two, there is
absolutely NO correlation between the acquisition of a bike
and the paving of the road.
None. Zero. Nada.
There
is lots of stuff going on at the winery. Wine
Appreciation Classes. Home wine-making
classes. Chocolate, which is one of the basic food
groups. Green Wine.
The
downtown store looks terrific thanks to the decorating skills
of Tasting Room Manager Cathy (also a biker) and her daughter
(also a biker). Stop by and see it.
Happy
2008! |
