Dear Colorado Wine Club Member,

Happy holidays and a joyful, rewarding New Year is what we wish for you at this special time of year.  This is your last Colorado Wine Club package for 2007.  We truly hope that you’ve enjoyed the wines, the letters, the complimentary tastings, and the special pricing that your club membership offers.  We’re very pleased to have you with us, and tender our sincerest thanks for your continued support.  Colorado wines have come a long way in the last 15 years, and we hope you’ll continue to join us as we explore the wide variety of wines we have here in Colorado.

Enclosed are your Wine Club bottles.  This month’s wines for the Sweet Colorado Wine Club are:

Talon Rosato, 2007

Our most recent bottling represents Talon Winery’s first foray into the realm of pink & sweet.  “Rosato” means pink in Italian.  A Rosato is typically light in weight, color and residual sugar.  It’s received rave reviews from all sorts of customers, even “dry wine only” people.  Sales have been brisk since bottling on December 2nd.  This was the smallest bottling ever accomplished in our 15 years in the business:  we put up 30 cases of the Rosato.  The remaining 200 cases will be bottled early next year.  You may notice a slight sediment or haze in your bottle.  Not to worry - - this is normal and harmless.  If it offends your visual sense, by all means decant the wine to your after you let it stand upright for a week or two.

Crag Crest Dessert Wine, Whitewater Hill Vineyards

Rich and silky, the Crag Crest is a fortified dessert wine in the vein of a port, though quite a bit lighter in body and structure.  It is fortified with grape spirits to a final alcohol of 18%, and shows tones of oak and spice, with plums and black cherry.  The wine is very enjoyable now with dark chocolate or by itself after the evening meal, or you can lay it down for several years.

As always, enjoy the wines in good health!

Sincerely,

Glenn & Natalie Foster
