Hummingbird Ridge Winery - May 2010 Newsletter
HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE WINERY – May 2010 Newsletter
- Ahhh, May is here, the flowers are blooming and the hummingbirds should be hovering at the feeders very soon! Ruby-throated Hummingbirds normally spend the winter in Central America. From March through May, ruby-throated hummingbirds migrate north, some through the eastern two thirds of Texas, some apparently through Cuba and Florida, and some apparently directly across the Gulf of Mexico. Birds reach the southern Gulf coast in late February and early March. Later migrants fly to breeding grounds further north. The farther north they are going the later they travel. Hummingbirds do not fly in groups but migrate individually and will follow the exact same route of their very first migration. Arrival time on the breeding grounds tends to not occur until food plants are blooming. Departure time also corresponds with the end of the blooming season for food plants. Ruby-throats usually arrive in PA in April and leave in late September. Just some quick info on our namesake.
- Now on to what is happening at Hummingbird Ridge Winery in May. May is our “Spring Fling” - Spring Open House Month, with special discounts on selected wines! So for all of those folks who have not discovered us yet, May is the perfect time to come out and visit us and taste our current wine selection and take advantage of our first wine sale of the year! Remember, Free Tastings every Saturday and Sunday in May from 11am to 6pm.
- Great News! "Sweet Dreams" is back! Our sweet white wine "Sweet Dreams" will be back in stock starting Saturday, May 8th!!! This wine is a great wine for sipping on the deck or taking to a picnic or for drinking with friends. Stop in and taste it.

Hummingbird Ridge Winery - April 2010 Newsletter
HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE WINERY
APRIL 2010 NEWSLETTERFirst, we send out a Huge Hummingbird Ridge Winery “Thank You” to everyone who visited the winery in March, especially the Uncork York Wine Trail “Tour de Tanks” event visitors. We met so many great people and made many new friends and received a lot of compliments about our wines. We thank you so much for visiting us and for purchasing Hummingbird Ridge wine!!!
It is now April and the weather looks like it’s going to cooperate and be nice and sunny and warm, at least for the start of April. Since we are a microwinery, we make small batches of wine so that we can focus on every detail of the winemaking process and make the best, most flavorful and balanced wines for you. But making small batches also means that we may sell out of certain wines at times and our wine lineup sometimes changes, so be sure to stop in and taste our latest offerings. We will be closed Easter Sunday April 4th, but we are open for free tastings all other Saturdays & Sundays in April from 11am to 6pm. Stop in and Experience the Flavor of Hummingbird Ridge wines!!!
Our current lineup for April is: Hummingbird Red, our delicious dry red wine with ripe and juicy berry flavors; Hummingbird Red RESERVE, Beautifully Aromatic with Deep layered tones of soft Raspberry, Blackberry, and Plum into a full-flavored Finish; Semi-Dry Riesling, A fantastic expression of one of our favorite grapes with beautiful notes of citrus into a crisp long finish; Hummingbird White, a soft easy-drinking semi-dry white wine in a fruit-forward style, great with your favorite meal or just for sipping on the deck; and our best-selling Ruby Elixir, our playful semi-sweet red wine that begs to be taken to a party or a picnic or anywhere where there are fun people and good times.
We also have some winery building and grounds improvements in the works including work on an outside area where you can enjoy the outdoors while sipping a glass of wine, so stop by and see how the winery is progressing! Being only 4 months old, we are a work in progress, so there’s always something happening at Hummingbird Ridge Winery.
One more area restaurant, Two Brothers in Etters, is now carrying Hummingbird Ridge wines, along with these other fine area restaurants: Silver Lake Inn, Lewisberry; Back Woods Grill, Etters; The Field House, Etters; & Culhane’s Steak House, Lewisberry. Please visit these fine establishments and enjoy a glass of Hummingbird Ridge wine!!!
Finally, we just can’t say enough Thanks to our family, friends, neighbors, and visitors for giving so much help and support to Hummingbird Ridge Winery!!! Words can’t express how much you all mean to us!!!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
