Cave Vineyard is proud to announce 5 additional medals, including a prestigious Jefferson Cup, awarded at the recent Jefferson Cup Invitational Wine Competition.   Cave Rock Red and S.I.L. Chardonel both earned Medals of Merit, equivalent to silver medals.  Cave Rock Off Dry and Cave Rock White each won Medals of Excellence, equivalent to gold medals.  It is the winery’s 2009 Norton that brings home the Jefferson Cup. 

Over 700 wines were entered into the competition this year.  Seventy-nine wines were selected as Jefferson Cup nominees.  Out of those 79 honored wines, the  judges collectively selected 29 wines as recipients of the Jefferson Cup.

The Jefferson Cup Invitational is the only competition that honors the best of the best among wineries from all of America’s wine regions.  Each year great wines are selected from across America to participate.  The invited wines have all proven their excellence in competitions and tastings throughout the last year.  The invitation only wine competition was founded by Doug Frost, one of only three individuals in the world to have achieved the titles of Master Sommelier and Master of Wine.  To learn more about the Jefferson Cup Invitational Competition and the charity is supports, go to http://www.thejeffersoncup.com.

Perfect Pairings for the Holidays!
 

We've been offering biscotti to our guests since the spring and folks have been discovering what Italians have known for ages; biscotti are excellent dunked in wine!  Dunking these treats is tradition in our family and we love being able to share that tradition with our guests!  All ten of our current offerings are recipes based on Grandma Strussione's original Almond Biscotti recipe.  They are all baked in  our Cave Vineyard Winery Loft Bakery each week.  We encourage our guests to experiment with different cookie and wine combinations.  The perfect match brings out the best in the cookie and the wine - they make the perfect pairing!

WINE & BISCOTTI GIFT BOXES AVAILABLE!
