ELCOME TO TURTLE CREEK WINERY. TURTLE CREEK NEWS
             1 June 2009

These are difficult economic times for many people, coupled with additional uncertainty about what the future holds. As a consequence, we have held our prices and, in some cases, lowered them to reflect the shared challenges we face together. We have also sought to make our wines more readily available and will now offer the sale of wines by the bottle, as well as case, from the winery. We have doubled the number of specailty wine stores that carry our wines and have begun a program to include restaurants where you will find our wines, often in a "by the glass" list. So far this year, our sales are 80% ahead of last year.

The biggest news is that we will soon inagurate tastings here by appointment, with several time slots on most Saturdays & Sundays. Reservations can easlily be made from this website by going to the header menu titled "Reservations." We encourage at least a couple days notice.

We have just released our 2007 Cabernet Francs, both the version made with grapes from the Russian River and our own Estate Cabernet Franc, with grapes from Conservation Hil here in Lincoln. They are different from each other but both are dynamite wines. Try them and see…

We maintain an email list of customers to notify them of new releases and events here. If you are interested in being included, please contact us (use the menu in the header above) and we will place you on our email list.

Mirabile dictu!
In vino narratio

(In wine is the story, marvelous in the telling)
