Many wineries start a wine club. There are all different ways that a club is created. As a small winery we wanted to be able to share our wines at a discount with others. Little did we know what we had started in late 2003. Last Friday evening we hosted our annual Club Holiday Party. It is our way to say thank you to so many who have supported us over the years.
