Speaking of December, The time to start your Ch----mas wines is NOW. (I didn't say it) August and September is the best time to start them. Remember they need a couple of months to age to be their best for the Holidays. Avoid the rush and get them out of the way early.
JUST BEEN NOTIFIED THERE WILL BE NO CHEEKY MONKEY 2012 HOLIDAY WINES THIS YEAR. SORRY ABOUT THE LATE NOTICE BUT VINECO FAILED TO NOTIFY US UNTIL NOW, ONLY AFTER WE ENQUIRED ABOUT THEM. I APOLIGIZE AGAIN.
Enjoy the rest of the summer with family and friends. Have a safe and fun filled summer.
