If you’re anywhere near Woodinville next Saturday (Nov. 14), please stop by William Church Winery to meet me and to taste the new release of their fabulous Bishop’s Blend, along with delicious appetizers from Preservation Kitchen restaurant. You’ll also find holiday gift packs, 20% discounts, and William Church gear for holiday gifts.

The 2007 Bishop’s Blend is bound to be as popular as its predecessor, and at $19, you just can’t miss. As my friends Rod and Leslie at the William Church say, “Our goal with Bishop’s Blend is always to deliver flavors and complexity way beyond the $19 price.” I’ve tasted a pre-release and I can vouch for their success! Here are the tasting notes:

“Rich aromas of strawberry preserves are followed by tons of bright red fruit in this next vintage of Bishop’s Blend making it every bit as much of a bargain as the very popular 2006 vintage. With flavor and complexity found in much more expensive wines, it displays deep wild raspberry and cherry flavors along with smokey oak and mild tannins. Crafted to go with many different types of food, we’ve carefully blended 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot & 5% Syrah to create this all occasion wine.”

The release party is from noon to 5 p.m. – and I’ll be there from 2-4 p.m. to talk about Twitter, blogs and social media. So please stop by and say hi on Nov. 14 at the William Church Winery in Woodinville!

Hope to see you there!
Cheers!
