So far the summer here in Knights Valley is absolutely perfect! Although off to a slow start, it is now a classic Sonoma County, picture perfect, ‘I should retire here’ summer. The mornings are touched with gentle fog which burns off in it’s fine form to warm, sometimes hot afternoons and evenings. This is why they call us Sonoma County. The grapes are loving it! If this keeps up (knock on grape wood) it could become one of our best vintages yet!
And, now that Summer has arrived in all her glory (I think it’s a her), it’s time for all things play and chill. It’s up to you to provide the ‘play’ but not to worry, we will provide the ‘chill’ tool by way of an icy cold bottle or twelve of Award Winning Ehret Sauvignon Blanc at a sizzling summer sale price. So be sure to pop over to ‘Our Wines’ and and take advantage of this online sultry summer savings.
Beyond that we here at Ehret Family Winery wish all of you a safe and playful, Sauv Blanc filled summer.
How it got here so fast is truly an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. Here in Knights Valley the grapes are thriving but slowly due to the amazingly cool weather and abundance of rain. It is early yet to know what type of growing year we will have but so far, so good. We will keep you posted.
Synonymous with Summer is of course Events! And Events for us is Synonymous with “Yay, a chance to meet you in person”! Here are two upcoming events for you to come see us:
This event will be held in the beautiful Saralee Vineyard. The date is June 19th, 2010 so be sure to put it on your calendars. Wine, Food and for all of you Humidorians Cigars!!

We will have more to announce shortly and in the meantime be sure to check our events calendar under news and events for the other upcoming tastings that we will be participating in .
Beyond that, we wish you a wonderful Summer filled with great food and wine (and maybe a beer or two thrown in for good measure)!
And to all of you, our deepest thanks for your continued support of our young Ehret Family Winery!
Spring, 2010 sprung a few surprises on us this year in the form of a late frost in Knights Valley. In order to protect the vines two predominant methods are used: Water and Wind. Our neighbors are using wind machines and in this segment we are using sprinklers to wet the vines so that they will freeze. Frost temps are much colder than freezing…Crazy huh?
