News from the Round Barn Winery
Here are a few things you can look forward to in 2009.


Our Tasting Room is Moving

Don't worry... It's not moving very far! Late this spring our Baroda wine tasting room will be moving into the Copper Bar area of the Round Barn. During our busy months we will also have additional space upstairs to better accommodate you.


Calling All Beer Lovers

Our former tasting room will become the official home of the Round Barn Brewery featuring 8 beers on draft and plenty of cold beer to go. Speaking of beer to go... we will be releasing most of our varieties in 12 ounce bottles this spring. Stay tuned!

Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, you can go to our website home page to find out what's currently on draft at the tasting room. Just look for the pint glass. Check it out!

From the Cellar
Pruning the Vineyards Our 2008 vintage of white wines are almost through cold stabilization - we chill the wines below 30 degrees to drop the naturally occurring tartrates out. This is the last step before the wines are filtered and bottled. Depending on the weather we will start pruning the vines in February; this will mark the beginning of the '09 vintage, which we are hoping will be our best yet.
