Upcoming Wine Club Party at McGrail Vineyards

Saturday, June 25th
Sunset Appreciation Party and Release of The Good Life Cabernet
5:30-8pm
We have traditionally held our “appreciation” party in the winter, but the biggest complaint is that the weather is cold.  So we are holding this fabulous night in June in hopes that we will have a beautiful evening outside.

You will get to taste our newest Release, 2008 A Jo Elet, The Good Life Cabernet, you will enjoy a glass of wine on us and you get to watch the sunset from our patio.  Wood-fired gourmet pizzas by Soleil will be available for purchase, so come with an appetite! 

We will have live music by Top Secret Band, so bring your dancing shoes.

As a special thank you, for your continued support, we will offer a 30% discount on case purchases of the following wines:
2007 Patriot Cabernet Sauvignon
2008 Wisner Vineyard Chardonnay
2009 McGrail Family Chardonnay
**Only available the evening of June 25th**
Email your pre-orders, so we have your case ready.
