The annual Grand Finale of our Sunday Concert Series comes to a weather seasoning end -- on a Saturday.  And with a bonfire!  And with a wood fired grill! There is one caveat tomorrow as I type this on Friday night before.  We are hosting two heats of a 5K run in our vineyard, one at 8:30 and the other at 10:00 in the morning.  So there could be an unexpected crowd when arriving for the concert.  Also, parking could be a little screwed up too as the run goes through our front yard and in our back parking area.  The good news is the crop is out of the fields and we have opened up the bottom field and the best parking area, the field south of the vineyard which puts vehicles close to the bonfire, but not too close! Music starts 12:00 or so and goes to 4:00 or so.  Laura is working the regular grill.  Thus, our hours of operation will be from 7:00 AM to 8:00 or so PM this Saturday. Rock Slide plays great classic rock and is a super talented band consisting of Ben Graves on Key, Keith Hutchison on Vocals and Guitar, Bill Hammond on Bass and the incredible Mike McDowell on drums.  The rock is pure and the musicians are outstanding.  If you like just good ol' classic rock and roll, here you go, Rockslide.  They started our concert series in May and they end it in November.  Awesome Our concerts are free and they are family friendly. You are welcome to bring food. All concerts are outside. Wine tastings during concerts are outside. Wine can be purchased inside or outside. Cheese and crackers are available inside the winery. Grilled fare is sold on the east side of the winery behind the band. We have complimentary plastic cups. We sell wine glasses or you can bring your own wine glass. We suggest that you bring a lawn chair. Lastly, if you would like to borrow an ice bucket for your wine, great. We have them available, just please return them to the winery or the tent before you leave. For this concert, we begin early with music 12:00 to 4:00.  At 2:00 o 3:00 or so, we'll light the bonfire and the woodfired grill for your grilling pleasure.  Yes, BYOSteak or whatever you want to grill.  This event normally goes well into the evening.Cheers, Laura, Jim, Max and Lauren, Joe, Catherine, and our wonderful staff. #image_title

Have you ever wondered if that old axiom is true, do wines get better with age?  Well, find out this weekend at Turtle Run Winery as we are set to host our annual "Blast from the Past".  With 25 years of winemaking, we have a section in the winery reserved for older wines, dry, sweet, red and white. This is your opportunity to sample and savor older Turtle Run Winery wines and purchase some too!  The "wine list" will constantly change over the course of Saturday and it will reset again on Sunday, so literally both days will have different offerings.  And yes, we will sell out of wines constantly.  There will be a limit on how many of an individual wine we will sell to an individual or family.  Please share and don't be selfish. We want to see how our wines are aging, that's part of it.  And sometimes we age wine just because we knew the wine was great and wanted to try it years later.  We do know, or have a very solid hypothesis that wines with minimal intervention (fining agents, added tannins, liquid oak, things like that) will age the best.
