Any wine lovers here?
« on: January 27, 2020, 06:29:59 pm »
It's time to reveal my 3-years-in-the-making project (and the main reason I've not had any funds to go into my aircraft).

Long story short, longtime home winemaker who decided to go professional on the side. Seriously underestimated the costs of starting a winery, but finally my babies are getting to meet the world.

I make the wines in a restrained old world style, pretty far from the big, jammy California oak-bombs often produced here. Restrained use of oak, lower alcohol. Since I love underdogs (like P180's and Turbo Commanders;), I decided to focus on rare, forgotten, under-appreciated or historic grape varieties as that's what interests me personally. Didn't think the world needed any more Cab, Pinot or Chardonnay producers. Naturally fermented, unfiltered, unfined. No chemicals or additives. Minimal sulfites. A narrow market, but these are wine lovers wines, food wines.

In any case, rather than post a bunch of info, here's a link to my offer that I want to make my Twin Commander wine geeks aware of. It's over at Wineberserkers. - the biggest wine forum in the US.  Each year they have a one day only sale where any winery can participate with a time-limited offer. It's called BerserkerDay and this is the 11th year in the making. It's a huge event and a great opportunity to buy some serious quality wines from producers at crazy good prices. I'd planned on sneak releasing my wines on this event for over a year, so here it finally is:

https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=165919&p=2898186&hilit=sabelli+frisch#p2898186

There you can read about the offer and read a descriptions about my wines. For further in-depth descriptions you can also check my brand new website, also linked at they bottom of my posts there. I've had great success on there already, and I want to extend that to all my flying family. I can't ship to many states (as alcohol shipping laws in the US are more complex than trying to get a radio station license from the FCC), so forgive me for that. Wines also won't get shipped until early March, as it's a bit too cold right now (depending on delivery state).

Thank you. Know that every bottle you buy will help save an antique Turboprop! ;)

Thanks so much for your support and purchase, PK! I'll have these to you by end of Feb, weather depending. Thanks again! :D

No, I buy the fruit from vineyard farmers in various appellations. Mostly Lodi, but also Santa Barbara County and Sonoma. It's what most wineries do, even the "fancy" Napa ones.

And thanks to Steve Binnette for also buying a sampler case!  ;D

Thanks to everyone who waited so painterly for this release to ship. Last minute wine shipper mess-up added an extra week to the shipments. Tomorrow I drive up myself to Sacramento to get the wine shippers loaded on my truck and will be able to ship the wines out on Thursday. Standby for tracking number.

 Again, thank you.  :-*

Sure do!

Just spoke to AeroAir, and they now have a little more manpower to dedicate to it. I think they're sick of her sitting there, to be honest. I don't blame them.

Even better get the Commander flyable and make the wine deliveries and the Commander is a 100% bona fide tax deduction

I like it 8)
