Fall/Winter 2009 Newsletter

Fall/Winter

As I sit down to write this, the 2009 harvest has drawn to a close, and all the grapes are in our winery going through various stages of the winemaking process. The season got off to an exciting start with the arrival of our winemaker Leo Hansen’s first child, Max, on August 7. While winemakers generally endure a few sleepless nights during harvest, it’s safe to say, Leo has had more than his fair share this year. But before you start worrying that a sleep-deprived winemaker might be a cause for concern, consider the fact that this will be Max’s birth-year vintage—and that Leo is planning on laying down numerous cases of the 2009s for a long, patient slumber. Knowing this, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were the best wines Leo has ever made. With this in mind, I hope you will join me in raising a glass to Leo, Debbie and Max, and to the promise of great things to come!.

Happy Holidays!
Fritz Stuhlmuller

Summer 2009 Newsletter

July/August

It’s been seven years now since Leo Hansen joined the Stuhlmuller team, and five years since he became our winemaker. As those of you who have been on our mailing list for a while already know, our wines have just gotten better and better with Leo at the helm. Leo’s wines reflect a lushly elegant house style that captures the essence of our family-farmed estate vineyard. Not only are they great wines, we also believe they represent a great wine-drinking value. As a result, while we spent many years as one of the Alexander Valley’s best-kept secrets, with the help of our wonderful mailing list members, that secret has been getting out lately. As our way of saying thank you for your loyalty and support, we wanted to do something really special for our list members. With this in mind, we are pleased to offer you a 15% discount on any order of one case or more (includes mixed cases) and a 20% discount on orders of two cases or more. To make things even more exciting, this special offer also includes rare pre-release access to our amazing 2007 Estate Zinfandel and our highly anticipated 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (6-bottle limit per person). For a glimpse of just how good this wine is, check out the amazing scores below! We are pleased to make this offer available exclusively to our mailing list members.

All the best,
Fritz Stuhlmuller
