Tickets for the Tour de Tanks event are only $20 and are good for entry to all the wineries on the trail every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-5pm during the entire month of March. Tickets can be purchased at any participating winery or online at www.uncorkyork.com.

| Date Night ??? |
Looking for a unique date night for you and that special someone? Take them to a wine and food pairing dinner!
On Friday, March 5th we will be partnering with The Commonwealth Room at the Yorktowne Hotel. This event includes a half-hour reception followed by an amazing four course meal. More information including the menu and how to make
reservations is available on the Uncork York website.
A wine and food pairing dinner is a great way to spend an evening with those you care about. Whether it's a romantic evening for two or a friendly group evening out, wine and food pairing dinners are always sure to have two key components to an enjoyable evening: great food and exquisite wine! We certainly hope that you will be able to join us.

| Wine Fact of the Month |
Time for your random wine factoid of the month! Do you know what wine region of France is best known for its production of toothsome, dry rosé?
France has countless wine regions that produce some of the best quality wines in the world. When it comes to French rosé though, your best bet is to purchase some from the Provence region. Provence is France's oldest winemaking region. It is also the only region in France and the only region in the world to focus primarily on the production of rosé. They've been perfecting the craft for 2,600 years.
If you are interested in learning more random wine facts such as this one, a great place to do so is a wine appreciation class! It just so happens we offer such classes right here at the farm winery. For more information check us out at our website. Stay tuned for future newsletters with more random wine facts to come!

| Notes from the Tasting Room |
|
It's a dog's world. You know we have Rusty's Cellar, our winery room that you can enjoy during your visit or rent for your special function. Even Rusty was impressed with the carved wooden sign we just installed outside his room! Then there is Rusty's Red, our very popular red wine bearing his likeness. And now, Rusty has some Gourmet Dog Treats he'd like to share with all his friends. Whether you bring your pets in the Winery, leave them in the car, or leave them at home, they can also enjoy the Adams County Winery experience. These tasty treats (according to Rusty as well as some of the employees!) are an all natural, non-alcoholic, locally made product. Best of all...they're in the shape of wine bottles!! You can purchase them individually or packaged for your important pooch.

| We had this great event planned with Wolfgang Candy to offer you the opportunity to try our wine and pair it with Wolfgang's unique chocolates. Unfortunately mother nature had a different idea! We refused to let her beat us though, so our wine and chocolate event, so thoughtfully planned to occur before Valentine's Day, has been rescheduled to this Saturday, February 27th.
This delicious event will take place from 1-3 pm at our Farm in Orrtanna and also at Adams County Winery's downtown wine shop, Twenty-five C, located just off the square in downtown Gettysburg at 25 Chambersburg Street. This event is free and open to the public, no reservation necessary!
Wolfgang will be bringing some of their finest chocolates for us to pair with some of our finest award winning wines. Both wine and chocolate will be available for purchase. If you are looking for that perfect "Belated" Valentine's Day gift, we'll have it! This event could also be your excuse to purchase some wine and chocolate for yourself!

Cherry Wine
Earlier this week we released our "world famous" cherry wine. This wine still retails at $9.98. When paired with chocolate, the result is a heavenly combination for you and your taste buds!
Irish Kisses for you and yours...
The recent winter snows and low temperatures have us thinking that spring can't come soon enough. In an effort to welcome the spring season and all things green, we're bottling Irish Kiss just in time for St. Patrick's Day and the coming spring season. Irish Kiss is a sweet wine with a familiar taste that will be sure to satisfy everyone's taste buds. Don't let the snow and cold weather get you down. Go green with some Irish Kisses. Irish Kiss will be released on Friday February 26th, 2010 and will retail at $14.98 so be sure to get enough to hold you over until the warmer weather arrives.

In our last newsletter we asked "According to duet "Trout Fishing in America", what is the name of their retired means of transportation?"
Well the answer was "Robert 'Red Ford', who was their old friend and pick-up truck." Congratulations to Shana Stauber for being the lucky winner of the monthly Adams County Winery Newsletter contest. She was the proud winner of a bottle of Scrapple, our Sweet, CRanberry, APPLE wine. If you haven't tasted Scrapple yet, you should discover the deliciousness you are missing.
