Visiting Silver Sage Winery is always uplifting to the soul – Elena as well as Winemaker, Anna Manola are such happy and enthusiastic people that meet life’s challenges head on and move forward. Anna, like so many other winemakers, has been faced with crush coming early this year, doing everything at once! Over her head in grapes as she stated! The Silver Sage Tasting room is affably managed by the effervescent Elena who entertains each and every guest like a close friend of the family, and that is why this winery is so popular. The new 2012 releases have been very well received with the Pinot Blanc already sold out. The Gewürztraminer and the ever-popular Sage Grand Reserve, (a perfect wine for Thanksgiving & Christmas), the 2011 Merlot and 2011 Pinot Noir, The Passion are still available. The 2012 delectable dessert wine releases include The Pearle (black currant & blackberry), Blueberry, Raspberry, Pinot Blanc (Peach/Apricot) and of acourse, the unique aperitif wine, The Flame.
Elena stated that the B&B is open all year and effective November 1st the winery hours will be 10:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. The first weekend in December Silver Sage will be hosting their annual customer appreciation weekend. This is always a great time to visit, purchase some of their wines for gift giving and view the spectacular grounds decorated with millions of Christmas lights and decorations.
