Wine Club

Red September Release Email Sent

The final Red Club release is scheduled for September 5th. Members of our Red Only Club have received an email alerting them of the release date and the wines that will be included. Some packs have been built in the Club Room for early pickups. Please read note below in regards to early pickup requests! The wines in the release include:

2x 2021 Wild Boar Cellars Cabernet Franc

2022 Stone Tower Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

2022 Stone Tower Winery South Fork

Early Pickup Requests

Early pickups must be confirmed by completing the "Modify Club" form. This form can be found on the home screen of every iPad in the tasting room! The new section should be used in the event a wine club member is picking up their release wines prior to the club release date. When you open the form you will see an option named "Early Pick-up" once you click this option the form will ask for member name, member email address & phone number. You all will just need to complete one question which asks for info regarding modifications to the wine selections & pick up date! Please make sure all fields listed are completed, and match the information on file! If you swap any wines, please ensure that you provide detailed notes of the exchanges and specify vintage (i.e. "23 SB SS" vs "SB").

Current Tasting Menu (UPDATED 8/29)

2023 Chardonnay

2023 Kristi Chardonnay

2023 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve

2021 Wild Boar Malbec

2022 Stone Tower Winery Fieldstone

WINE UPDATES 8/29

As we near the end of both the Rosé and the Cabernet Franc we will be introducing the 2023 Maison Sanglier Pinot Noir to the menu, similarly to the 2022 this is a Vin de France. The Malbec has joined the tasting menu to replace the Cabernet Franc. We have also added the Kristi to the tasting menu which is always a fun way to highlight the stylistic differences of our Chardonnays!

MEET & GREET WITH JAMES

Since I know many of you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting the man at the helm of our talented cellar team, Monday, September 23rd we will be having a “meet and greet” with James in Wild Boar Hall at 6.30pm. James will provide a harvest update and Chef and his team will provide pizzas to be enjoyed. Please RSVP by Friday, September 13th.

HARVEST GAME

As harvest is underway we wanted to add some extra fun to the mix! Whichever staff member is able to guess the closest to our final tonnage of fruit that we bring in this year will receive a prize from the production team! Submit your guesses by Friday, September 13th - no cheating or asking for hints from production!

Here are some fun Stone Tower facts to help you determine your guess!

95 acres under vine

1 acre = 800-1500 vines per acre

20-40 clusters per vine

70-100 grapes per cluster

0.2-0.4 lbs per cluster

0.5-2 grams per grape

2000 lbs = 1 ton

CLUB CORNER

What does it take to sign-up a new member

• Most members visit a winery 3-4 times before joining the winery club. Think of all the first time visitors you all sign-up…way to beat expectations!!
• Potential members visiting these days are looking for something very different from previous generations, they want a story something unique which puts Stone Tower and you all in the perfect spot!
• Our guests love learning about the history of the property, the Huber family and their passion for wine & creating memorable experiences. The stories that you all have shared about why you choose & continuing to choose to work at Stone Tower is exciting for guests!

Length of membership?

• The average wine club member stays in a club for 31.8 months, the average Stone Tower member is a member for 30 months but we do have members that have been a part of the Stone Tower community for 11 YEARS!! That is amazing!
• A little over one fourth of the Estate Club has been in the club since it was founded in July of 2017!

Events is Hiring!

Our events team is currently hiring for 2 full time positions! With Olivia and Tyler both departing us on Labor Day Monday we are looking for full time event coordinators. If you are interested please email your cover letter and resume to Lauren@stonetowerwinery.com.

Harvest Update

Yesterday the team completed harvest of the Albariño! They have also made their way through the Pinot Noir, have picked the Chardonnay that will be utilized for sparkling, as well as a bit of Cabernet Franc that will be used for sparkling! Today we anticipate picking the Merlot that will be used in the Rosé before making our way into the whites next week with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Viognier!

Plates/Silverware TVTR

Hi team! Friendly reminder when guests are ordering food at the Tower View Tasting Room bar please ensure you send them on their way with the necessary utensils and plates so they are able to enjoy their food as soon as it arrives! Food runners, please take the opportunity at the table to ask if you can get anything out of their way (take the initiative to pre-bus) and ask if they need anything else!

Miscellaneous

Gift Cards are now in the TVTR office by the iPads, instead of the club room!!
