Rio Seco Promotions & Events

Greetings Wine Linos!

Some news and various promotions from Rio Seco Winery here: “Hope this Fall season finds everyone settling in – crazy and unpredictable long harvest days kept us extra busy but we are happy to report that all vines and wines are looking good! Nice fruit, good colors and flavors, perfect sugars and pHs,…should make the 2010 vintage one to anticipate.  As some of you know, Tom is home recovering from his recent surgery but we were able to finish harvest strong and without a hitch thanks to Lynn, Marcial, our amazing kids, Cait and Em, along with Travis, Jacob and our own newest little “cellar mouse” Quinnlynn!  Awesome friends and neighbors helped us with our Fall activities andHarvest Festival celebrations and our “Pitmaster Playoffs” fundraiser for Supplies for Soldiers and the American Cancer Society…thank you, Shauna, Becky, Heather, Jac, Dave, Steve and all our other many, many friends.”

Rio Seco’s WINE  CLUB shipments were delayed a bit due to their circumstances but are now on the way just in time for the holidays!  Check your credit card statements and call the winery if you have questions or if you need to update your credit card information.  The new ’06 Cabernet Franc and ’06 Syrah are very good and are becoming some of our personal favorites.  They are open daily so local pick-ups are always appreciated.  Speaking of the upcoming holidays, wine always makes a perfect gift – hope you will keep Rio Seco in mind if they can help you with your gift-giving needs.  Always love to play Santa!
