New arrivals to our winery

We are pleased to introduce to you Katie our newest addition to Castillo de Feliciana Winery. Katie comes to us from Ellensburg where she graduated with a four year degree in Wine Sciences.

Winter has come and gone! Hello spring
March 22, 2010
Not a bad winter! That's about all i can say. Our vineyards were spared that bitter cold that sometimes takes a vine or two away from us but fortunately not this year. Yesterday was the first day of spring and we are definately welcoming it! Over the winter we acquired our new bottling system and put it to work just last weekend. We managed to do over 700 cases in just two days. We had a great time! Thank you Ryan, Sergio, Nora, Erassmo, and Deb for your hard work. We bottles our 2009 Pinot Grigio, and our non-vintage Tempranillo. They will be ready for spring release in May. Also over the winter we have been looking at other equipment to compliment our winery processing area.

Winter Barrel Tasting
December 14, 2009
The first weekend in December marks winter barrel tasting. It was a beautiful weekend. A bit cold, I might say, but all in all a good weekend. We had quite a few visitors from all over to enjoy our winery as well as enjoy the wine. Winemaker "Ryan" was barrel tasting the 2008 Tempranillo. We will be bottling this some time during late winter. It is sure nice to meet all the wonderful people who stop by. I didn't realize having a winery would be so much fun!
Now that we are done with winter barrel tasting things will slow down . Guess it is time to celebrate Christmas and welcome in the new year! We hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season.
