Grand Opening of Reserve Cellar

Friday, March 25th, 2011

On April 8, 2011, Wiens Family Cellars will unveil their new Cellar Room and Winemaker’s Select Club.

The Cellar Room is a functioning wine cellar modified to provide a unique tasting experience for premium red wine enthusiasts. Seated tastings in the exclusive Reserve Cellar will include a flight of some of the family’s most prized wines including Bordeaux-style, reserve and limited production red wines. Guests are invited to taste wine as a group or as individual parties. The room will be kept at cellar temperature; guests are encouraged to dress accordingly. Tastings will last approximately 1½ hours.

In conjunction with the opening of the Reserve Cellar, Wiens Family Cellars will begin accepting applications for the Winemaker’s Select Club. Members of the new Winemaker’s Select club will have the opportunity to enjoy the Bordeaux-style and reserve wines available in the Reserve Cellar in addition to other library wines saved especially for members. Membership includes 6 or 12 bottle shipments of premium red wine biannually. Due to the limited availability of these wines, the Winemaker’s Select Club will initially be capped at 150 members.

Tasting Fee: $45
Cellar Room Hours: Friday, Saturday & Sunday: 10am – 5pm
Tastings in the Cellar Room will be seated and by appointment only.
Reservations can be made by calling 951.694.9892
Winemaker’s Select membership applications are available at the winery.

Temecula Vineyard Update from Winemaker, Doug Wiens

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

This growing season has been much cooler than usual, with many overcast damp mornings followed by warm afternoons.  Because of these conditions, powdery mildew has been a huge challenge this spring and early summer.  Fortunately though, the blast furnace of July came just in time to burn off the gloom and kill the disease’s growth.  Our brief heat wave will be good for the grapes, kicking off “veraison” which is a term for the grape ripening period when color begins forming in the berries.

It looks like the forecast for the next few weeks will be perfect with mild temperatures and fairly dry air.  We expect harvest to be roughly two weeks late this year due to early season coolness, which can be great for wine quality by pushing the ripening further into cooler fall conditions.  Cross your fingers for another wonderful vintage in 2010!
