MCV FARM NEWS - 4.17.10 - Somebody's Getting Married...

Hey Ya'll,

      Well, it was a pretty busy week here on the farm... Jim and the vineyard crew continue to tie in the vineyard.  The recent weather has been in our favor.  The rapid growth has slowed down, but their is still plenty of tying to be done in the vineyard.
     I would like to welcome Robin Epperson to the team here at Martha Clara.  Robin will be serving as Assistant Winemaker.  She is a locally raised winemaker that has traveled and worked extensively both here in the U.S. and abroad.  She brings a wealth of knowledge and talents to Martha Clara and we are pleased to have her join us. 
      Michelle and I were in NYC this week and we are pleased to announce that the Rattle n Hum Bar will have eight Martha Clara wines by the glass.  We also have a promising 2-4 wines on at another prominent Manhattan location.        
      Michelle and Robin attended the J. Kings food show at Hofstra University along with our distributor Boening Bros.  Many great contacts were made and hopefully we will see more Martha Clara wines at local restaurants.  Another great promotion that we are participating in is the Great Local Restaurants of Long Island.  Definitely check out this dynamite promotion at  www.greatlocalrestaurantsofny.com
     At the winery we were bottling, bottling, bottling.  We bottled the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Grigio.  It was a big week of bottling, but it is nice to have these wines in bottle and in the warehouse.
     Lastly, I would like to congratulate (our Graphic Designer and the man behind the camera of the JuanMaker) Matt and his lovely wife-to-be as they prepare to get married.  Congrat's!  In any event cheers ya'll and remember to drink local!!!  Word.

       - Juan.
