September 2008 Newsletter
Here is the NEWS!
1. The annual knees-up distribution day will be in the usual location, the number 4 bond at Bleasdale Winery at Langhorne Creek from 2 – 5 pm on Sunday February 15th 2009. Suggest you put it in your diary right now!
2. The new web site address is http://www.rgswineclub.com
3. The 2008 RGS Verdelho is now bottled, labeled and ready to go. Contact Ann to get the wine sent to you before summer sets in.
Re the annual knees-up - you are cordially invited to enjoy the company of fellow RGS Wine Club members and friends, taste the new RGS wines and past vintages, enjoy the music and sample John’s great ham & Henry’s remarkable Coorong mullet.
The cost is $20.00 a head. Don’t forget to bring a chair – and a dedicated driver.
The RGS red wines 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 22 years ago who wanted to get access to a quantity of good SA reds at a great price.
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. Thank you Sue from Biz Boost at Tailem Bend for getting it up. 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.
We’ll send you a reminder in mid December with the tasting notes on the new wines. There are still a few boxes of the current offering available (see below) if you want to restock the cellar. Hope this finds you and yours well.
Best regards
Ian Doyle
