Loma Prieta Winery, Wine Club Pick-Up Party and Wine Tasting!

THE LARGEST PRODUCER OF PINOTAGE IN NORTH AMERICA

Come join us for our Wine Club Pick-Up Party, and our normal wine tasting, on Saturday & Sunday, OCTOBER 5 & 6, during regular hours (Noon-5pm)!  There will be live guitar music and complimentary light appetizers.  Bill The Oyster Man is also planning to be here with his wonderful oysters on the half shell available for cash sale.  We have a Bocce Ball Court and lovely patio seating with views from Monterey to Santa Cruz.

Loma Prieta Winery is open every Saturday & Sunday, from Noon-5pm for wine tasting.  No reservations are required.  All picnic and patio seating is on a first-come basis.  Come and taste our award-winning wines, and read about our very special and rare Pinotage:

In 2010, Loma Prieta Winery started the only Pinotage Only Wine Club and membership is growing quite rapidly. We anticipate that many of our vintages will be completely sold out by the end of the year.  We are expanding our Pinotage Only Wine Club to two shipments a year now that we are receiving grapes from four vineyards.

An interesting phenomenon occurs in our winery tasting room on the weekends as we usually offer Pinotage at the end of our tastings while presenting a brief history of the wine. The vast majority of the people who come to our winery have neither heard of Pinotage, nor tasted it. After tasting the wine and learning a bit about its history, many people buy this unique wine.  Generally our Pinotage has been our best seller, despite the fact that our winery also produces several other Gold Medal wines (Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir).


Cheers!
