The INDY International Wine Competition was held August 4-6 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and winning medals at this show is no small feat.  The INDY is the largest independent and scientifically organized wine competition in the United States.  Panels of experts and amateurs from around the world conduct a blind judging to choose the winners.  This year nearly 2700 commercial entries came from 15 countries and 39 U.S. states.  More than 50 wine industry professionals were selected to judge, including winemakers, wine writers, sommeliers, enologists, wine grape growers, chefs, wine distributors, and wine retailers.
 
Stop by the winery any day of the week, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., to sample our award-winning wines! 
 
 
Sincerely,
Chrissie, on behalf of the whole Satek Winery staff:

Price drop on Raspberry Wine 
Lakes White double gold
 
Thanks to a substantial drop in the base cost of raspberry concentrate, we are able to follow with a decrease in the bottle price of our Raspberry Wine.  That's great news for our customers, who can now enjoy a bottle of the very popular Raspberry Wine for $18.49, instead of the previous list price of $19.99.  As long as the economy keeps the price of our concentrate lower, we will continue to pass on the savings to our customers

Long-anticipated DeChaunac 2009 to be released
Thursday 
 

balloon glass with red wine

Our signature dry red wine, DeChaunac 2009, is set to be released this Thursday, August 19th. 
 
Small crops of DeChaunac grapes are grown on the Satek's Lake James Vineyard.  These French-American hybrid grapes make a unique dry red wine with soft tannins.  The wine emerges as a splendid selection for those who seek rich fruity flavors complemented by oak.
 
We don't offer DeChaunac for tasting because we are only able to produce a limited number of cases.  However, if you are a fan of Cabernets, you are likely to enjoy DeChaunac. This totem of Satek Winery has been honored with numerous medals at the INDY International Wine Competition since it was first introduced in 2001 as one of our first four wines ever released.  Because many DeChaunac fans have waited all year for its release, you'll need to hurry in to purchase yours before it's sold out!
