New Chardonnay coming soon

We've just found a really nice Chardonnay that we hope to put in the bottle in the next couple weeks. It's a 2009 mostly from Suisan, California just east of Napa Valley.

We're sending a good amount of Cabernet Sauvignon inventory to South Korea so we'll be loading up a new Cabernet in the next month too.

We'll be bottling a nice Sonoma Valley Cabernet from 2008 but this is pre-sold but right behind it is a really nice Knight's Valley Cabernet that I hope to bottle in April or so. This are our Limited wines that retail at about $30.

North Carolina is in line to be our next state for distribution. Can't wait for an excuse to visit the Carolinas and play some golf.

I'm running a sweepstakes for two tickets to the ATT Pebble Beach pro-am and $100 gift certificate February 13, to enter visit our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/19th-Hole-Wine-Club/54624331825?ref=ts

Chasing the PGA Tour through Pebble Beach

I love going down to Pebble Beach for the Crosby (aka AT&T). Let's face it any excuse to visit the area is hard to turn down.

Well here's an excuse to come down, we're going to meet some fun people at the Pebble Beach driving Tuesday, February 10 at 11:00 am (we actually taxi in from Carmel Valley). We're going to enjoy some ball striking on the range before strolling over to the first tee for the pro shootout at Pebble.

They'll play 1, 2, 3, 17 and 18 (takes about 1.5 hours) and they draw some of the top players in the tournament and it's narrated by a comedian. This just happens to drop us into the Tap Room at Pebble Beach (not a bad place to enjoy a drink and snack).

We then have enough time to taxi or shuttle over to Spanish Bay for a little putting action while the bag piper plays in the back ground. Of course another cocktail is in order at my favorite 19th Hole (Spanish Bay #1).

Dinner is set for Rio Grill in Carmel Valley. Some of us will clean up at our hotels and we're set for 6:30 pm. If our party gets large I've arranged to have a private room at the Carmel River Inn. My buddy will some guitar, we'll enjoy some wines and dinner. Who knows a player or two from the tournament may drop in. Last year Michael Allen (finshed 14th last year and our honorary wine club member) joined us.

Wednesday we're set to golf at Fort Ord's Bayonet. Bring your game because this course doesn't hold back, it's brought grown men and women to tears and fits of self loathing. Still I'll put up some wine for prizes (low net, low gross, a closie or two and something else like prettiest outfit or worst swing).

Call me at 707-529-6458 if you'd like to come out.
