This year showcases the 2016 vintage red wines and they are already impressive!  The wines continue to age in barrels and this is your first chance to taste these “works in progress.”  This event is for the serious red wine drinker and is the best opportunity for you to purchase McGregor reds for a great deal…a full 30% off their projected retail value!

Each time slot is limited to 30 seats and the sampling takes place in our candle-lit barrel room. John McGregor leads each tasting which lasts approximately one hour. Learn more about the history of the vineyard and winery, our growing and wine making philosophy as well as learning the specifics of the 2015 vintage.  We recommended wearing an extra layer of comfortable clothing as the barrel room is cool and it gets chilly sitting there for this amount of time.

We are serving samples of estate grown Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in addition to the Rob Roy Red and Black Russian Red blends. Remember, all wines are only partially through the barrel aging process and are sold at this event as “futures.” The wines are offered at 30% off their projected retail price for Clan Club members and 20% off for guests/non-members. After the tasting, everyone is treated to a buffet of locally catered gourmet foods prepared by Nyssa & Roberto of Kismet New American Bistro and Snug Harbor Restaurant accompanied by wines from our currently available list.
