DUE TO NEW STATE LICENSING LAWS we do not have a tasting room.  Our vineyard is only one acre, and the grapes are turned into wine offsite, thus we had to surrender our license.  BUT do read on …..

We are the growers of the wine, not the makers of it! After laboring many hours in the vineyard trying to produce the best grapes possible, we would rather leave the winemaking to the experts. So the grapes travel from our land in Skull Valley to Page Springs Cellars in Cornville, where Eric Glomski and his wonderful crew of men and women take over and begin the magic of turning the fruit into the wine, and selling it in their own tasting room.

At Painted Lady Vineyard we organically cultivate only Gewurztraminer vines.  Oz Clarke describes Gewurztraminer wine as if it was, indeed, a painted lady, a bosomy woman, with too much make-up because she craves attention. He says, “…[she] wants the sultry tones of passion and seduction giving way to the earthy notes of exhaustion and sleepy satisfaction. You want to guarantee that nostrils will quiver from the first moment you sweep through the door, you want clouds of Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium, Calvin Klein’s Obsession and Giorgio of Beverley Hills to billow out before you, announcing the arrival of the one grape no-one can resist. Yourself!” Thanks Oz!

Generally speaking, at Page Springs Cellars our fine Gewurztraminer is bottled in the spring after harvest and is released a few months thereafter in their tasting room.  The final wine is not sweet: it is fresh and complex with intense fruit and spice notes. Pair it with a variety of foods or enjoy it by itself, lightly chilled.
