factoid  Wine Fact of the Day 
When talking in terms of wine, do you know the difference between aroma and bouquet?  Did you even know there was a difference???  Well, actually there is.  Aroma refers to the smells in the wine that come from the grapes whereas bouquet refers to the smells that are a result of the winemaking process. 
 
If you are interested in learning more random wine facts such as this one, a great place to do so is a wine appreciation class! It just so happens we offer such classes right here at the farm winery.  For more information check us out at
our website.  Stay tuned for future newsletters with more random wine facts to come!

Special Visitor!!! specialvisitor
 It was a cold and snow covered New Year's Eve day at Adams County Winery. The South Mountains were shiny and bright with the morning's fresh blanket of snow. The winery staff was just settling down after a tour bus's morning visit. When what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a man who seemed so strikingly familiar we had to look and look again to consider what we saw. Both his hair and his beard were as white as the snow covered hills! His laugh so familiar that we knew we'd seen him somewhere before. After much discussion and deliberation Rusty finally asked, "Santa?! Is that you?"

 

We are proud to say that after traveling the world in one magical night, everyone's favorite jolly old elf chose Adams County Winery to celebrate his holiday accomplishments. There may be one or two of you out there questioning this story or even doubting this man's entire existence. All we can say is that we know what we believe and we also know what, rather, who we saw this past New Year's Eve.

 Santa and Rusty

We are forever grateful to Santa for choosing Adams County Winery as his preferred destination to help ring in 2010. We are also forever grateful for you our loyal customers who visit us whenever you can and make Adams County Winery the magical place it is.  Be sure to visit early and often, you just never know who you might see...

 

May 2010 treat you and yours well and we hope to see you soon.  Happy New Year!

Newbies 
New Year, New Faces, New Wine...

This New Year comes to us with two new additions to Adams County Winery. We are pleased to welcome a new Business Manager and launch a new wine. The newest addition to our staff could not wait to get her hands on our new wine (she was the first person to purchase a bottle)! Lara Randall joins the Winery team as our new business manager, and Scrapple (which stands for 'Sweet Cranberry Apple') joins our wine list. 

Lara Randall, our new Business Manager, brings a fresh outlook for organizing administrative matters and improving operational effectiveness. Lara brings to the team a diverse background in marketing, customer service and management, as well as four years running her own specialty coffee business. She attended York College before earning her degree in public relations from Auburn University. She has just relocated to Adams County after spending the past 14 years residing in Georgia. Lara's two young children love all the snow this new year has brought, however she has not yet adjusted to the weather. Come visit her at the Farm and be sure to try our new wine, Scrapple!

People are going hog wild over Scrapple and it is selling like hot cakes (is anyone else getting hungry?). Scrapple is reminiscent of our holiday wine Reflections. It has a sweet spiced cranberry apple flavor that is sure to please your palate. The name gets your attention but the taste steals the show. Come taste Scrapple for yourself- you'll be glad you did.

Julie K 

Well if you aren't you should! If you do, thanks, we greatly appreciate it! Why are we asking this question? Well here is something that was featured in John's article from last month's newsletter: 

"...We will probably be looking at expanding storage in the very near future.  This will happen just as soon as I convince the boss (SWMBO) that it is a good idea.  The first person who correctly identifies what SWMBO means will win a bottle of Reflections, our new holiday wine. Send your response to vintner@adamscountywinery.com.  Good luck"

Did you know the answer? Well, our friend Julie Kurtz did, and she was quick to respond with the correct answer to John's quiz question, "She Who Must Be Obeyed" was the answer to John's quiz question. We congratulated Julie with a gift basket that included a bottle of Reflections, our limited edition holiday wine (now completely sold out), and some little gifts from our tasting room.  It was our way of saying thanks for reading our newsletter! And most importantly, Julie did tell us she only knew the answer because she paid attention in one of our Wine Appreciation classes (hint, hint, wink, wink). This month's question:  According to duet "Trout Fishing in America", what is the name of their retired means of transportation?  First correct response wins a free bottle of Scrapple.  Congratulations again to Julie and just remember, reading is not only good for you, it can also be good to you!
