▪ Hours: Now open 6 days/wk
PV is now open 6 days a week, 11am-5pm -- every day except Wednesday, year round. Check the sign on the barrel at the bottom of the driveway for the closing time, and look up the hill to the house - you can see our flashing blue and red "open" sign from Lovgreen Rd.
Additionally, Mike lives on the property and the winery is open whenever he's there, so you can consider PV to be ALWAYS OPEN if you call/txt 206-200-5902 ahead (most any reasonable hour) -- if I'm available, you'll be welcomed!

Wine on the Rock, STEM @ Science
Center
Our
next Wine on the Rock event is coming up - 3rd weekend of Apr.
All the wineries on Bainbridge will be open Sat 22-Apr and Sun
23rd. We'll all be featuring cheeses, as locally sourced
as possible! (PV will have Crimson Cove cheeses.)
There should be a few tickets available at the door at each winery,
but we strongly recommend you buy at the website on Eventbrite.com in
advance as there is a cap on how many we can sell.
Please note that there will be a shuttle available for an additional
fee, to take people between the wineries - we recommend buying tickets
in advance for the
shuttle.
If
you've been to the winery and met Mike, you've
probably noticed he's something of a computer-nerd-geek and
science-fan-type. Last year the Pacific Science Center in
Seattle approached PV about an annual event they have where wineries
pour their wines for a private members event, and do some sort of
science as part of their table display. We couldn't make
it work last year, but we are committed this year. If you are a
member of the Pacific Science Center, plan to be there - if
you're not, consider joining, and then being there! The
event is 28-Apr, perhaps we'll see you
there!

Taste WA - this
weekend!
Seriously - this
is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, if you're a wine fiend,
you need to do this at least once. There will be 235 wineries
and 65 restaurants. There's a special VIP entry with a
higher price ticket which might be worthwhile if you're a
serious wine fiend - certainly if you're an industry
professional.

Need farmers market
salesperson
Perhaps
you, or someone you know is an outgoing college-age kid looking for
some summer income? PV would like to be at farmers markets this
summer, but I can't be in two places at once, so I need to
have people to do it for me... Even just one weekend per month,
might be worth it, on the peninsula or Seattle would be fine.
Please reply to this email if interested. You also might want to
get onto our pv-helpers email
list.

Awards!
Savor
Northwest is an annual wine competition with a northwest focus, so I
am happy to enter it! This years event was last week at Cannon
Beach in OR, and PV got Bronze for 2014 Melon and Silver for 2014
Syrah. We've also entered the Cascadia competition which
is in the next few weeks - we've done well at this event in
the past, again as it has a northwest focus and they understand our
cool climate unique varietals - we'll know
soon!
