We’re bringing the festivities to the winery for the next Wine Club Pick Up Party!

We’ll be in the middle of crush so it’s an exciting time to be here.  There’s even a chance to see the winery’s harvest action firsthand on a crushpad tour.

Spend your Labor Day Saturday tasting our Wine Club Exclusive 2008 Single Barrel Malbec and pairing it with pizzas from local and family-owned Guantonio’s.  The Guantone family works wonders with their mobile wood-fired oven to craft handmade pizzas and other authentic Italian bites from the freshest ingredients.

Bring your family and friends (kids too!) to play games on our lawn (grape stomp anyone?) and sample delicious wines paired with yummy gourmet fare.

Harvest Wine Club Pick Up Party
@ LangeTwins Winery, 1525 East Jahant Road, Acampo
Saturday, September 4th
2 – 6pm

RSVP by emailing joe@langetwins.com or call 209.334.9780 with names!

*You’re welcome to invite your non-Club friends, but please RSVP for them*

Rick Mindermann, store director of Corti Brothers in Sacramento and personal assistant to Darrell Corti, wrote a great review of our Pinor Noir in the latest Style Magazine.

I think Rick honed in on exactly the wine style we aim to achieve: true to varietal.  A Pinot should have that Pinot nose, for example.  Those Pinot diehards know what I mean by that…

Some of Rick’s words:

LangeTwins 2008 Pinot Noir is a delightful and unpretentious wine.  Made by blending wine from French and American oak barrels, this wine has a good varietal scent and character.

Rick, Darrell, and the Corti Brothers group continue to be big supporters of ours and we appreciate the nod.

If you haven’t been into their store, do so soon – you’ll be impressed by the small-lot family wines they have available and their professional wine service.

The last few cases of our 2008 Pinot Noir are available at Corti Brothers – we’ll be releasing the 2009 vintage very soon.

Be sure to stay tuned for the release announcement!

Aaron spotted a scene he recognized:

It’s the winegrape edition of American Beauty’s “You want to see the most beautiful thing I’ve ever filmed?” flying plastic bag.  See if you can fully understand the true beauty behind this very artistic short ‘film’.

If our vineyard guys are getting artsy on Day 2 of Harvest 2010, who knows what kind of videos we’ll get mid-October!
