▪ Hours/events: Yukon Jackson's visit
Next
weekend (Sat-Sun 09,10-Feb) is the big Valentine's Day weekend! This
year again, we will be graced with our noted chocolate maker, Keith Jackson
of Yukon Jackson's. Keith will be joining us in the tasting room from
noon on Saturday 'til 4pm. He'll be handing out special samples, and
he's quite a character - be sure to make it here to meet him and taste
our distinct wines!
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!
▪ New releases: Frambelle is available!
The
latest Frambelle is spectacular - be sure to come in try it! We were
able to make a larger than usual lot of it this year, but I'm sure it'll
still sell out rapidly. It's available NOW in the tasting room.
▪ Wine on the Rock
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the Bainbridge Island Wine on the Rock event.
This
event will be continuing with most of the other wineries on
Bainbridge, however, PV will no longer be participating. We will be
open for business as usual during WotR weekends, PV will simply not be
participating in the purchased-online-pass, etc. Mostly this is because
it's just plain too busy! Those of you
who have visited PV on a normal day, have had the vineyard tour, have
had the personal conversations with the winemaker, have simply had a
very personal visit. WotR weekends were so busy,
that customers did not get anywhere near our usual high quality
visit. This and a few lesser reasons were enough for PV to drop out of
the event this year. (Please note that our neighbor Bainbridge
Vineyards has also dropped out of WotR.)
Please
do continue to come to Bainbridge on WotR weekends, of course we'd love
to have you visit PV on those weekends too. If you don't mind crowded
wine-tasting rooms and busy parking areas, WotR is still a great value!
But if you are the type who prefer a more one-on-one experience, be sure to visit us at PV.
▪ Tasting room specials
Please
note that as of February our tasting fee has gone up to $10. We now
have 7 wines in our tasting, one of which is an expensive dessert wine.
We've always considered a PV tasting to be a good value (6 dry wines
for $8), and we still feel that our new pricing is quite reasonable.
Also,
we've got a special running - the Isletage dry white wine ($18) is now
on special - a 3 pack for $45. This is $15/bottle, a very affordable
wine. Come on in and take advantage of this!
▪ Vineyard: Pruning season!
Pruning season has begun... I'm already behind for this year, but I should be able to catch up... If
you're interested in learning about grapevine pruning, please consider joining our pv-helpers email list!
▪ Discount for taxi/Uber/Lyft
We've
noticed that (especially during the winter), the downtown Winslow
winery tasting rooms may be fairly busy, yet we get less visitors up our
driveway. We're thinking that this is mostly because people are
walking on to the ferry (not taking a car), and thus are sticking with
the easy walk downtown. We've decided to try making it worth your while
to get transportation to come up and visit PV -- we will give you
$10 off any wine purchase (be sure to ask for this discount if you took a taxi/Uber/Lyft).
