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

West Coast Swing Golf Wine Events

Happy New Year and welcome back to golf season.

I'm setting up my schedule of events this year and it starts at the ATT at Pebble Beach. My favorite player on tour Michael Allen is playing so I'll be there rooting him on.

Michael is a good friend and he tells me he's playing great so I'm expecting some big finishes from him early in the year before his 51 year old body tires.

I'm still hammering out the other events but it looks like we'll be in Texas, Ohio, Florida and Southern California too. I'll keep you posted as these firm up.

Bringing Holiday Cheer from 19th Hole Wine

Tis the season to be merry and when you bring a bottle or two of our 19th Hole cab to uncle Fred , you'll be his Santa Clause.

We're offering a special with the Uncle Freds in mind, since he's also the guy who'll buy the first round at the 19th Hole after the round, even if he loses the bets. He wants to tell you about the new swing move he used on the shot over the trees that almost made it. Gotta love that guy, because some of him lives in all of us.

For him and all the other golfers out there we have a special of six bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon for $75 (without tax and shipping) and a 19th Hole Wine golf cap.

If you'd like to tee this offer up, call me directly at this point to ensure delivery to your door. My cell is 707-529-6458.

Wine Tasting at Guardsmen Treelot

Happy Holidays and it's November 30th and tonight I'll be pouring 19th Hole wine at the Guardsmen treelot at Fort Mason in San Francisco.

There will be other Guardsmen pouring their wines too. I believe there are about twelve of us that own wineries.

Our treelot is very impressive if you haven't seen it. Minnepolis has the Great Mall, well the Guardsmen have their Great Treelot and every Guardsmen (under 40) has to help operate the lot over five shifts. About 2,500 trees will be sold raising money for Bay Area charities. The Guardsmen raise about 2 million a year for great causes!

Anyhow, if you can make it down, it'll be worth your while. Hope to see you!

Next 19th Hole Wine Club Event

We'll be out watching Michael Allen at the Schwab Cup at Harding Park Saturday, November 5.

Come out it should be a great day in San Francisco and Michael Allen will have a good chance to win this tournament.

Afterward we'll taste some 19th Hole wines at the Beach Chalet, a couple miles from the golf course. Everybody who come out will get a 19th Hole hat.

For more information call me (Kris Moe) at 707-529-6458.

Harvest Time in the Wine Country

It's a great time to be in the wine country. All the wineries are doing what they do best, making wine.

If you love wine and haven't experienced seeing wine being made, it really is worth a visit. It all begins with the pick early in the morning and then they transported to the winery to be processed for fermentation. At our winery we may have ten different types of grapes coming through at various times this month.

19th Hole Wine will be doing a Chardonnay this year from Alexander Valley. We'll be aging it in oak to give it that buttery touch that most of us enjoy. I expect we'll be bottling this wine next Summer in July or so. We expect it'll be a bargain at $20 a bottle. The previous vintages from this vineyard are award winning Chardonnays at $30 plus a bottle.

I'm really excited about a new merlot blend we're bottling this month. It is blended with 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon all from Sonoma County. We'll price this wine at $15 a bottle.

In the same bottling run we'll also put into bottle our Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 2008 and we expect to sell this at $30 a bottle.

Give us a call if you'd like to watch us make the wine or if you'd like to come up to taste. Our phone number is 707-529-6458.

19th Hole Wine Club event at Pebble Beach

Wednesday, June 16th we're teeing it up at Fort Ord, truly one of the best golf courses in California. After the round we'll be heading to Jack's in Carmel for a winemaker dinner and my new wines from 19th Hole (a new Limited Merlot and Chardonnay from Mendocino along with some other beauties you may not have tasted).

Call me at 707-529-6458.

On Friday, June 18th we'll be pouring our 19th Hole wines at the Merchant's Exchange in the financial district of San Francisco (15th Floor). We'll be in the ballroom where they'll be showing World Cup soccer and the US Open on numerous screens. I'll also be flying the flag for my golf lessons, I'll be rotating in and out doing freebie lessons into a large infltable net we'll have set up along with our video analysis gear.
