January 6, 2010

Welcome the New Year!

Summerset Winery kicks off 2010 with a flurry of activities and invites you to join in our winter Blues!




January Wine Highlights

Case Of Summerset Wine
CASE SPECIALS! You can purchase cases of these 3 wines, Rosé, Niagra and Vino Rosso, for only $100 per case (regularly $130.20):
  • Rosé ~ We call this light, fruity semi-sweet wine, Caba–light. It is similar to our signature wine, Caba–Moch but lighter in body and color but with the same fruity flavor of Sangria
  • Niagara ~ Sweet and delicious bursting with the flavor of fresh grapes
  • Vino Rosso ~ A semi–sweet full flavored and robust blend of locally grown grapes.
Price applies to case purchases only (12 bottles in a case). You can choose to mix these 3 wines to create your case or buy a case of each. We will even let you add the points to your Club Card or BECOME A CASE CLUB MEMBER!

Our Wine of the Month is Marechal Foch, a dry red with the essence of raspberry and strawberry, with soft tannins, spice and lightly oaked. A Gold Medal winner. This wine normally sells for $12.85 but for the month of January it is only $10.85 per bottle.

Treat your sweetie to a Summerset Valentine Package!

Give your special someone something decadent this year... Summerset's Ruby LaBelle! This bold and luscious Port style dessert wine will remind you of chocolate infused cherries! We'll package it with two Summerset wine glasses, an assortment of chocolates in a beautiful gift basket for only $25! Add two tickets to our Valentine's Ball and receive $5 off the regular ticket price.

Upcoming wine specials for February

Kiss Me! This fruity, delicate blend of semi–sweet white grapes caresses the lips and titillates the tongue — another great Valentine's Gift. Buy a bottle during the month of February and receive a complimentary wine glass. Limit two glasses per customer.



Summerset Winery's Case Club Program

Summerset Winery's Case Club rewards program rewards our best customers for purchasing one case (12 bottles) of wine. This first case initiates your annual membership. A pink sticker will be affixed to your club card which indicates each case purchased for 2009/2010. "Club" members receive a Club Card when they join that will accrue one point for every dollar spent. After the initial case is purchased, individual bottles and retail store items can also be added to the points on their Club Card. When 250 points have been reached they may be redeemed for a $25 gift certificate. Points may either be redeemed in $25 increments or may continue to accrue if the member chooses. A minimum of one case needs to be purchased annually to keep your membership active. Colored stickers will indicate current membership and only current members will receive the benefits of the program. Club cards without a pink sticker will not be eligible to add points after 10/01/2010.

In addition to the Club Card reward system, members can attend our Sunday Tunes for free and will also be invited to attend our bi–annual Case Club parties. These outrageously fun parties are completely free to members and include dinner, wine, live music and special store discounts. Members must renew once a year by filling out the membership form when they purchase their case.
