Bottling is Done!

It's been a crazy week at the winery! Production Manager, Charissa along with our Winemaker, Alison have been busy at work . . . bottling our 2007 whites and 2006 reds. Even through the 90+ degree heat, the bottling team made the week very successful. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

It's been way too long since our last update . . . .

Although it's been quiet at the winery, everything else has been very busy. First things first, we recently added a new member to our sales team. A local San Franciscan, Jacquelyn Horton joined us with several years of restaurant and wine sales experience. She will be covering the Northern California territory, and we are thrilled to have her on our team!

Levendi has been busy the first part of 2008, visiting our distributors across the country: Arizona, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois, Washington, Missouri, and Nevada so far! The wines are catching on everywhere! From Mastro's, Morton's, Capital Grille, and Charlie Palmer's to Sea Island Resort and Oakmont Country Club - people are going crazy for Levendi!

We recently released the highly allocated 2006 Red Hen Chardonnay and 2006 Cold Creek Chardonnay. Yields were lower than 2005, so there's not much left (already)! Get your hands on it while you can.

Don't forget to check out our wonderful friends at Antonello Ristorante - an Orange County landmark since 1979. Authentic Italian cuisine at its best! Visit http://www.antonello.com/ for more information.

Ciao!

2007 Harvest Recap

The last of our Cabernet Sauvignon is in! That's it . . . now the fun begins. Both the Red Hen Chardonnay and Cold Creek Chardonnay are in barrel and making their way through fermentation. Alison, our winemaker, couldn't be happier with the flavors they are giving off at this early stage. Ripe tropical fruit for the Red Hen and beautiful lemon and apple for the Cold Creek. The reds are especially exciting this year, because they weathered a small patch of rain and then basked in the bright sun (80 degrees!) for about a week. The result: ripe, rich and exciting flavors, such as blueberry, cherry, and cassis. It was an ideal ending to a great year!
