WineRelease.com's March 15, 2019 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.
This month we had 94 winery updates and 66 wineries releasing wine.
John Shafer, a Napa Valley winery legend, died March 2 at the age of 94. I met him a few times and admire his winery as a solid performer for Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and of course, Cabernet Sauvignon and thier iconic Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. I recently went to their annual tasting and was impressed, as always, with their line-up.
And now, onto the wine releases...
