The Holiday Head-Start Tasting
Here at Harvest Ranch we listen to voices of our valued customers and recently you’ve been suggesting that we allow you to sample more of the upscale pricier wines that we feature on the shelves of our wine department. We hear you!
However, in order to pour these wines and sell them at discounted prices we’re going to have to absorb increased costs so the price of the tastings will increase slightly to $20, which we think you will agree will still be a bargain given the fine wines, cheeses, meats and fruits that are part of these tastings.
This week’s wines were selected to serve as welcome holiday gifts or perfect fits to your Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve dinners and parties during the holiday season.
An elegant French Chardonnay and Bordeaux, two Spanish red blends and a fantastic Chilean Carmenere will be featured this weekend. Several of these wines received 90-plus ratings from critics. Please come join us this weekend.
