We’re happy to say our 2009 harvest is “in the barn”, so to speak, and looking quite good. The sweet aroma of fermenting juice lingers in the air as the vine leaves turn yellow and orange. We’re so grateful for another excellent vintage!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Colleen has put together a beautiful menu for us, paired with wine, of course! Be sure to see below!
And, as we move into the holiday season, don’t forget to stock up your cellar! We have some terrific new releases – come on in and try them and take a few bottles home to enjoy with friends and family! |

About the new Goosecross website and label
|
|
 |
You talked, we listened. We are excited to announce that we have dramatically transformed our website into a place for you to share ideas, learn more about wine, and discuss your passion for it! You told us that you wanted a place to pursue your knowledge about wines and winemaking, further explore the art of food and wine pairing and - of course - have access to purchase our excellent wines and related products. I hope you’ll take full advantage!
With the release of the 2006 Estate Petit Verdot, we debut our elegant, foil-stamped and embossed wine label, created by famed label designer Jeffrey Caldewey. The goal was simple elegance - it communicates the sophistication of the wine's multi-dimensional flavors and is beautiful to the eye and the touch. Enjoy and come see us soon and often!
