NOVEMBER notes and news
Yes, its already November. Where has this year gone? Well, onward to the holiday season we go. After a successful International Furniture Market here in our 'home' U.S town of High Point, North Carolina, we are headlong into the fall months and that means Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. So a very busy period ahead of us.
A recent shipment brought our first taste of the amazing 2016 Pinotage and our new 2017 Sauvignon Blanc. Both have since proven immediately popular in trade and public tastings and we already have both listed in restaurants across the state.
We keep our website updated with all locations that sell our wines. Click on the links below to discover our retail and restaurant customers.
