Westport Rivers 2008 Riesling will be available for purchase in the Company Store. This limited release wine sells out consistently year in and year out and this vintage will be no different. This clean, crisp, off dry Riesling is out just in time for autumn and may not last until Thanksgiving. They held off on releasing this limited supply of 2008 Riesling and for months, and only made it available to Wine Club members because of the limited quantity on hand. They have satisfied their obligations to their Wine Club members and the retailers who support them by carrying the Riesling out in the marketplace. What they have left will go out on display and be available for sale at this HARVESTFEST event. So if not for the music, food, and family fun please do come down to visit this coming Sat. Oct. 3rd to get your case of 2008 Riesling while you can.
