WHAT'S NEW AT THE PIRTLE WINERY: DECEMBER 2004

December is already upon us and we are still working our way through the Thanksgiving leftovers!!

We are back from the International Mead Festival in Boulder, CO where our Mead won a bronze medal in a competition of over 90 meads from seven countries! It was a great time and we met many wonderful people from across the US and Europe.

It has been a very busy fall but we have good supplies of most wines in stock.
