Enjoying a glass in the Barrel Room
We are really excited about our newest event at Cathedral Ridge. Well, it is not exactly an event, but more like a regular occurence. We have officially established the Friday Night Happy Hour Bistro Night. Yep, we finally have a Happy Hour. In fact, we had our first ever Happy Hour Bistro Night last Friday and it was. . . well it was a grand ol’ time for the 5 or 6 visitors plus the 3-4 staff members.
All attendees loved the occasion to receive a nice selection of wine glasses for 50% off their usual price. But, the occassion is still in the beginning stages and we realized we really need to start spreading the word. Our goal is to establish a group of delightful wine drinkers, such as yourself, who just need a little time to unwind after the long week. So from 5-7, its your time to really relax when you know you can enjoy some great wine without suffering the steep costs. Here is what you can expect:
A nice, soothing atmosphere. (We just bought great new bar chairs!)
A carefully compiled mix of smooth, cool tunes to set the tone
Cheese plates for your snacking enjoyment
And, plenty of wine! Here are the glass prices: White: $2.50, Red:$3.50, Reserve: $5.00
Of course, you can also purchase as many bottles to leave with as your heart desires. We also hope to add more live music to the mix as the winter rolls on. Or, feel free to truck over your favorite instrument and start a jam session. We hope to see you there one of these Friday evenings. Why not start with this Friday, January 15th from 5-7pm?
Cheers!

Costume Contest=Complimentary Bottle of your favorite Cathedral Ridge Winery Wine.
Costume Contest at the Winery!
We love Halloween. Not only does it bring us silly costumes, candy galore, and scary movies; it also concludes our exciting harvest season. After working tirelessly to collect the grapes, crush, and barrel, we get to don outrageous costumes and win praise at the same time. Costume contests are great for enabling every day folk to sneak behind a mask and unleash their bottled up creativity. There is no shame in a great Halloween costume.
That is why we have decided to celebrate the holiday with a Cathedral Ridge Winery costume contest. It is nothing too extravagant and there is no need to go out of your way. Just put on the costume you know you have been planning all week, some all year 
, and strut your stuff to the winery for a chance to win. Visit the Cathedral Ridge Tasting Room anytime between now and the end of the day on Halloween and you’re in!
Here is all it takes:
1. Show up to the winery in costume
2. We will snap a photo of you looking your best
3. Fill out the very short sign up form with your costume description
4. Wait for the results. Oh, and enjoy some wine!
The winner, or maybe winners, will be selected by the end of the day Saturday, October 31st. If you win, just select your favorite Cathedral Ridge Reserve wine and its yours.
The best part: Cathedral Ridge Winery employees are eligible to participate! Someone from the CRW team and someone from the general public will be selected.
So just come pay us a visit. And even if you don’t dress up, you will probably get the chance to see some interesting outfits while still enjoying great wine. And, of course, we have candy!
Sounds simple enough, should I follow the recipe for reds? To create a stunning white wine, one with curves and a silken touch, great delicacy and charm must be applied. Pieces in the sequence of wine making are held in common with red, but the timing and duration often vary.White varietals do not necessarily require crushing or destemming, since skins are not needed for coloration, thus pressing can take place prior to fermentation. The next step is to treat the must, the final product of pressing, by allowing it to settle for a day before entering the vats for fermentation. As this process heats up temperatures are kept lower than compared to reds, in order to lure subtle flavors into the light and tempt enlightened evolution. With temperatures on a simmer, the length of the fermentation process is extended.
The wine making process is fairly standard, yet there is always wiggle room in how long a step takes or how many times an activity is performed. “Stirring the lees” is a choice part of the process, like when you go to buy a new car and you have the option to upgrade to a nicer stereo. Stirring the lees entails agitating yeast deposits left behind after fermentation, by completing this task more often nuances and flavors will become enhanced within the wine, but the exchange is a labor intensive act of love.
The secondary fermentation phase of red wine making, malolactic fermentation, is excluded when fashioning white wine. The final steps of maturing, fining, filtering, blending and bottling are all completed in the same manner as when shaping red wine. The maturing of white wine typically takes place in oak barrels, until it has reached full potential where upon it is goes through the fining and filtering stage to achieve purity of complexion. At this point the wine maker’s extensive skills are employed for the blending stage, when wine from differing barrels will fuse to become a remarkable product. The final step is to place the fresh viscous crystal composition in a bottle.
The process of wine making is inevitably an exciting journey of change and the building of character with the pinnacle of achievement being the birth of a prodigious wine.
Salud,
Courtney
