We’ve just wound up the Winter Wine Land Weekend here in Sonoma and we have about 4 ½ weeks before the back to back Barrel Tasting weekends come up starting the 28th February, 2014. For those of you trying to avoid crowds and looking for a fun weekend or weekday while our great weather is still with us, I thought I would re-cap some new wines, new award winners and some wines on sale that you might want to come try before the Barrel Tasting Crowds and get some of the soon to be sold out wines too.  It’s a great time of year to visit Locals and Victoria and I usually have more time to talk about the wines.  So if you have not been in the room for a while come visit and Victoria and I will take good care of you.

New and recently new to the Room:

2011 Bedarra Bonfire
2011 Bedarra Reserve Chardonnay
2012 Eric Ross Pinot Noir ( Saralee’s Vineyard – Russian River Valley)

So stop by and try some of the new wines, award winners and wines on sale not to mention all the rest of our over 50 wines to choose from, made here in Sonoma County from some great Boutique Wine makers with a true passion for their wines.  If you are reading this from somewhere to far to visit, drop us an email and we can ship any of our wines to you or to friends as a Valentine gift too.

Cheers

From your friends at Locals.
