from the Desk of Doyle
The first RGS bottling happened in 1986 so that makes 2010 our 24th birthday. If you want a drive in the country and you’d like to pick up your wine, you can do so from number 4 Bond at Bleasdale Winery at Langhorne Creek between 3 & 5 pm on Sunday February 28th.
Let Ann know you are coming and she will prepare your order.
The RGS red wines on offer this year are from a range of previous vintages. They are barrel selected and then made specifically to RGS Wine Club specs by Bleasdale wine makers Michael Potts and Renee Hirsch. The RGS Wine Club was driven largely by a core group of 30 or so from around the country who wanted to get access to a quantity of good SA reds and whites at great prices.
The only way you can get access to the limited quantity of RGS wines made each year is (1) by being introduced by a current RGS club member (2) being sent this newsletter and (3) by ensuring you get your name on to the electronic distribution list by contacting Ann.
Ann’s Calliope Vintry administers the RGS Wine Club. Her email address is ascutchings@bigpond.com & contact phone / fax number at Langhorne Creek is 08 8537 3113.
Have a wander around the new web site. There are tasting notes, the RGS Order Form, details of the RGS ‘On Location’ Photo Competition and a picture gallery of past RGS Wine Club functions. The new website address is www.rgswineclub.com Thank you to the team at Bizboost.
If possible, please use the credit card facility. It keeps the cost down. It won't be processed until after the wine is sent.
Best Regards
