The sights of Spring have painted an incredible tapestry of color as the mustard and fruitless plums are in full bloom against the backdrop of emerald green hillsides.  Winter rains have been plentiful, filling local reservoirs and providing a much needed drink of water to the vineyards. 

Many thanks to those of you who joined us for Winter Wineland in January.  It was a terrific event.  Next up is Barrel Tasting during the first two weekends in March.  This is yet another wonderful opportunity to speak with winemakers and taste through young wines straight from the barrel. We encourage all of our friends to check out wine country during these exciting weekends. 

March 6-7 and 13-14; 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Dry Creek Vineyard and the other participating members of the Russian River Wine Road would like to welcome you to two exciting weekends of wine tasting. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers, and explore the beautiful Dry Creek, Alexander, and Russian River Valleys. Barrel Tasting is not a food or themed event.  It's all about the WINE.  Our goal is to introduce people to wines still in the barrel, help guests learn about wine, and better understand what they are tasting. 

To taste at any of the participating wineries during these weekends, you'll need to purchase the Barrel Tasting wristband and glass.  The price is $30 per person, payable at the first winery you visit.

Recently, we were proud to learn that not one but TWO of our wines were recognized by The Wine News magazine in their Top 125 wines of 2009.  This is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to our winemaking staff who continue to produce outstanding wines.
 

The  positive  press  keeps  rolling  in!   In  the  April 2010  issue  of  Wine & Spirits magazine, we were

outstanding additions to wine lists. This is an incredible honor and we are thrilled to be mentioned in the same category as some of the best wineries in California.
