Fall%20Release%202011%20 %20Timeline%20Chart%20v3%202 Fisher Vineyards Fall Releases
It is with great pride that we announce the release of our 2008 Coach Insignia, harvested on the 100th Anniversary of the founding of its namesake, the Fisher Body Company! 2008 also marks our 30th vintage produced and the 25th Anniversary for our Coach Insignia label. Considering these milestones, we are all feeling a bit nostalgic.
While our family easily recalls these dates, we thought you might enjoy a brief summary of Fisher Vineyards’ history, now spanning four decades. Labeling the timeline on this page gave us pause to think about the incredible contributions made by so many talented professionals and friends along the way. We are also reminded of how much we appreciate your enthusiasm and your business throughout the years.
As we prepare for another busy harvest, we raise a glass to salute and honor our forefathers for what they have inspired us to create. We hope you will also savor the new releases this fall with good food, family and friends.

Thank you to all of our supporters this past weekend at the Food and Wine show in Atlantic City, NJ. We had a truly amazing weekend seeing old friends and making new ones. The launch of our new brand (Play Date Wines) was received with open arms and empty glasses icon smile Faustini Wines

To show our appreciation, we are offering a 10% discount on all case orders of (12) bottles or more, by using code 10OFFCASE at checkout (offer expires Sunday August 7th 2011).

For those of you who couldn’t make the show, here is a little info on our 2010 Play Date Chardonnay.

pdch Faustini Wines

Pineapple, pear, apricots, jasmine, honeysuckle, and vanilla define the perfumed nose of this well balanced Chardonnay.

Play Date Wines uses a new reusable and recyclable closure called a Zork. It’s easy to use, pop’s like a cork when the bottle is opened, and there is no chance of cork taint.

You can get more info about Play Date Wines texting the word ‘playdate’ to 25827.

Thank you

Anthony & Michelle Faustini

In the epic battle of West (Crushpad) vs. East (City Winery), we tasted barrel samples of 4 whites wines, 4 Pinot Noir’s, and 6 Cabernet Sauvignon’s to determine who made better wines. Wines were judged on color, aroma, flavor, structure and overall balance.  City Winery won the white wine battle and Crushpad won both the Pinot Noir and Cabernet battle and overall title and championship belt.
