February 2010 Hummingbird Ridge Winery Newsletter

Well, it's been a very eventful first 2 months for the winery! We have received a lot of positive feedback about the wines and we just received our first media article - see the previous post. We already have 2 local retaurants that are serving our wines. The first to carry our wines was Silver Lake Inn in Lewisberry and we thank owners Cat and Rex for their support! The Silver Lake Inn is also offering special hummingbird wine charms with each purchase of a glass of Hummingbird Ridge wines.  A brand new Newberry Township eatery, Back Woods Grill (formerly Bumber Bobs) is also serving Hummingbird Ridge wines and we thank owner Bob Conley and his staff for their support! Please ask for our wines when you visit these fine establishments.

The month of February is Wine & Chocolate month at Hummingbird Ridge Winery. Every Saturday & Sunday in February from 11am to 6pm, stop by the winery and enjoy wine and chocolate pairings to celebrate the month of Valentines.

In January, we introduced 2 new wines - Moonlight White (Vidal Blanc) and Sweet Dreams (Niagara), and both have been received very positively. Coming within the next few weeks are Shimmer (Diamond) and Red Reserve, a beautiful dry red with delicious depth of flavor.

Please stop by for a tasting. We look forward to seeing you at the winery!
