enough of the politics, have some wine
 

And just like that, harvest is over with! Holiday Shopping Spree is right around the corner and and we're already selling tickets to our 2017 events along with Season Passes and even more exciting, Bangles & Bottles. Oh, and the Vintner Vacation contest has reopened for entry, may the odds be ever in your favor. 

I also want to take a short moment to point you in the direction of my most recent article in which I got a chance to chat with the new winemaker at Knapp Winery, Jerry Van Vort - check it out!

Cheers,
Cassandra & Katherine

Please purchase your tickets on line to reserve your spot. $74.90pp, includes tax and gratuity. 6:30pm-10:00pm 2770 Ernsberger Rd, Romulus, NY 14541 www.knappwine.com
