Limited Release Wine Tasting at Swedish Hill Winery

August 18th, 2012

Winemakers love to experiment with new wines. Sometimes it’s a new varietal, a new blend, or a new style of a wine we have made in other ways. Each year, we introduce two new wines from the “Wine Team’s experiments. Sometimes we also bring back a wine not made in a number of years, sometimes it’s something we have never tried before. Whatever the wine, it’s always fun for us to let our customers tell us what they think of our experiments! For more information you can contact Lindsay Case at (607) 403-0029 or visit www.SwedishHill.com.
