2006 REDS Released! Primitivo, Pinotage, Petite Sirah, and Petite Sirah Port!

Lots of exciting things have been happening around TANIS Vineyards. Harvest is here and things are CRAZY!!! : ) But we're still having fun!

Are you ready for some awesome REDS yet? October 4th and 5th we are releasing FOUR of our 2006 dark, rich, hearty reds...Primitivo (maybe even BETTER than the 2005!), Pinotage (dark and CHEWY), Petite Sirah (Exquisite) and our Petite Sirah Port (this one STAINS the glass!).

The weekend of October 4th and 5th is the BIG CRUSH weekend event in Amador County. If you like a fun and upbeat crowd this is a great time to come. If you'd prefer to visit us on a quieter day, maybe you'd like the weekend or two after Big Crush. Either way, we are REALLY looking forward to sharing our newly released wines with you! You're going to love them!

Another FUN ANNOUNCEMENT... TANIS Vineyards has been featured in the new online wine magazine VINOPRIMO.com ! The article is titled "My Sweet Baby Syrah, TANIS Vineyards Birth of a Winery." VinoPrimo plans to follow our story over the coming year and possibly beyond. Visit this great new online magazine site at www.vinoprimo.com! Read our story and check out this fun new magazine!

What's Hot at TANIS Vineyards!

Well, harvest is here again and it's an early one because of the HOT temperatures. But according to customers in the tasting room, the temperature is not the only thing that's HOT around here. : ) The guys were SO happy with the comments of two attractive female visitors, that they're thinking of making T-Shirts. Can't you just see them now, smiling and wearing their logo shirts that say..."The guys at TANIS Vineyards are HOT!" I'm definitely adding that one to my list of 'Top 10 Tasting Room Quotes!'

If you're not on our mailing list, you can now sign up on our website at www.tanisvineyards.com. We've sold out of almost all of our 2005 REDS and are getting ready to release some fantastic 2006 wines including Petite Sirah, Primitivo, and Pinotage. Add yourself to our mailing list to receive notice when these delicious wines are released. I'm sure they will sell out as fast as the 2005's did.

You can also look for some great recipes at our main site. "Tarts by Ann" were a big hit. Our favorite was the Cheese and Red Onion Jam Thumbprints. YUM! Very tasty with our 2006 Viognier.
