Eagle City Winery - Email Newsletter #22 (July E-Newsletter)

Hello Eagle City Winery Friends,

As the third oldest winery in Iowa we've learned a lot over the course of our history, from which grapes grow best and yield the sweetest juice; to staying true to our vision of being a quality small-lot wine producer.  But, we couldn't do it without you and your support.  That's why we host two annual Open Houses to share our love for wine and to spend time with you.

We're grateful for your business and glad you value independent, Iowa-made Eagle City wines.  You're welcome to stop by for a free wine tasting, enjoy a picnic lunch, and/or share a bottle of wine among the vines.

Hope to see you soon,
Ken & Carolyn

OPEN HOUSE - Thanks to everyone who attended our Spring Open House at Eagle City Winery.  We're so happy to have you visit us and our open houses are our way to celebrate our passion for wine and spend time with you.  We hope you can make it to our Fall Open House (Oct. 12-13).

Wine Update:  Eagle City White and Edelweiss will be out of stock until after harvest.

Vineyard News:  Despite the long, cold winter this springtime has brought plenty of rain to recharge the parched earth from last summer's drought.  Our vines are looking great and we're expecting a good harvest this fall provided we can adequately protect again disease and pests.
