Recent Wine Releases
 
Steuben Dessert Wine, 2008:  distinctly different than the 2007 vintage, this port-style dessert wine has a wonderful black cherry character and deep rose color, making it an ideal wine to serve after your holiday meals.
 
Kreibaum Bay Dry Reisling, 2007: extremely popular since its release a few weeks ago, this is an aromatic and piercing dry white wine that pairs well with anything from shellfish to teriaki chicken.

W.I.N.O.S. Girls Night Out a success
 GNO ladies
There are plenty "Women In Need Of Shopping" in the area, as evidenced by the 200+ women who turned out for Satek first-ever Girls Night Out.  We opened the production room to showcase 7 vendors, including Tastefully Simple, The Pampered Chef, All About Me, Mary Kay, Silpada Designs Jewelry, Custom Designs by Lisa, and Longaberger Baskets. 
 
Ladies could sample wine and purchase by the glass and bottle, mingle with friends, shop casually through the marketplace-style atmosphere, and register to win prizes given away by the vendors and the winery.  We are in the planning stages for our next W.I.N.O.S. event, so watch your email for the announcement of the date and time. 
 
Wine shipping guidelines for the holidays
If you are planning to have your wine purchases shipped to your gift recipients this holiday season, be sure to check our website for guidelines before placing your order.  We have the most up-to-date information about which states we can ship to, as well as deadlines for shipping to guarantee Christmas delivery.  Remember there is a 3-bottle minimum for shipping.  If you are shipping to an Indiana address, you must first visit the winery in-person and fill out a verification form to be kept on file (this need be done only once and then you can phone in future orders).  Note that current Indiana law prohibits online winery sales.  Click the link below for more shipping information.

101 Lakes Red now available in Fort Wayne
 
Fort Wayne area residents won't have to drive very far to purchase 101 Lakes Red, now that Cap n' Cork package stores are stocking our most popular wine.  We are thrilled to be branching out into Allen County, since our customers can't seem to get enough of this sweet concord grape red wine.  
Keep an eye out for Satek Wines in your favorite local restaurants as well.  Fred Barnes, Regional Sales Manager for Vine2Wine, the wholesale subsidiary of Satek Winery, is in discussion with select Fort Wayne restaurants to offer our wines.  For a current list of package stores and restaurants that offer our wines, click this link below:
 
 
When dining out, be sure to ask your server if the restaurant has Satek Wines.  It is our hope the list will continue to grow!
 
Blueberry Wine coming in time for Thanksgiving

The much-awaited release of our award-winning Blueberry Wine is here!  Beginning tomorrow, November 14, we will be adding Blueberry Wine back to our list of offerings.  This year's seasonal fruit wine is more complex than most fruit wines due to skin contact during fermentation. Initial tasters have noted clove and nutmeg characters, to name a few.  This wine is as great for mulling as it is for enjoying with your pumpkin pie after a big turkey dinner.  List price $13.49/bottle. 

 
Fudge frenzy at a winery?
 
If you've visited Satek Winery in the past several months, you may know to what that headline is referring. If not, treat yourself to a visit soon to experience the most decadent treat you can imagine. 
 
Selling out almost as fast as we could get in each shipment, our Old Vine Red Zinfandel Fudge Sauce has created quite a frenzy.  Yes, it is a fudge sauce made with our Red Zinafandel, and yes, it is just that good.  Sample some along with our Raspberry wine to experience a flavor and texture similar to a gourmet raspberry truffle. Great for holiday gifts (if you can bear to part with it!), come in early to be sure we haven't run out.  And while you're here, might as well get yourself some too to embellish your holiday desserts (although I must confess, it's equally good by the spoonful straight from the jar).  The Fudge Sauce is made by Annette's Chocolate, and sells for $12 for a 9-ounce jar.
