I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family this year and hope you did as well! For extra excitement at my house, we prepared dinner in my newly remodeled kitchen! The biggest challenge was finding where I had stored everything, but the turkey, fixings and of course wine were all fabulous.
Thanks to all who made it out for the Elkton Art & Wine Thanksgiving Weekend festivities! The community re-instituted the passport and raffle program and it seemed to be a huge success. We had lots of visitors, several wine club members, a few different Yurt guests - needless to say it was a wonderful and busy weekend to close out 2015. The Tasting Room is now closed for the winter, but as always, just let me know if you are coming to town. I'd be happy to open up for you. Tyler even put a handy dandy appointment form on our website, so feel free to check that out too.
From my family to yours, have a wonderful holiday season! I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Warm regards,

October was mostly warm and dry, so coming into November we're excited about some wetter weather. It hasn't been much yet, but the Umpqua is beginning to rise so it's looking a lot more like fall around here. The drizzle has started to knock the yellow leaves off the vines too so before long they will be bare and settled in for the winter.
November is gearing up to be an exciting month. I'm most looking forward to our first ever Wine Club pick-up party! It is set for Saturday, November 28 and I'll be serving food pairings and glasses of wine to our members. Plus, as a thank you to our first members, we're offering a very special library wine. So if you have been thinking about signing up and just haven't done it yet, I recommend doing so today!
Also, I wanted to remind you that the weekend of November 27-29 Elkton will be having our annual Art & Wine Thanksgiving Weekend. Seven artists studios and shops will be open; all five Elkton wineries will be pouring; ECEC - home to the butterfly pavilion and Fort Umpqua - will be open. It is the perfect excuse to get away, do a little holiday shopping in this peaceful and scenic nook of rural Oregon and support local artists and artisans alike. Check out the handy-dandy map in the right column to help you plan your trip and navigate your weekend. I do hope you join us!
Following the Thanksgiving weekend, I'll be closing up the tasting room for the winter months, but if you are coming to town and would like to taste, I would be happy to catch up and pour for you. Just give us a call or email to set up a private tasting!
Wishing you a warm and happy November and I hope to see you soon.
Warm regards,
