Harvest is a great time to visit Michel-Schlumberger. And to encourage our online friends to venture out off the beaten track in Dry Creek Valley, we have a special promotion. From now until the end of October, our Vertical Tasting or Green Tour is free to anyone who mentions they heard about it online. Just call 800.447.3060 to make an appointment and tell us where you heard about it… here on the blog, on Facebook, Twitter, Pownce or Friendfeed.
The Vertical Tasting showcases our reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from vintages 1998, 1999 and 2000. One of the wonderful things about having Estate wines is that all the fruit comes only from our estate. As a result, you really get to taste true vintage differences. What was happening in 1998 (cold, rainy), 1999 (long, long, long, cool season), & 2000 (vibrant, complex vintage) and how did that environment impact the wines? Taste the absolute art of the winemaker, the essence of our terroir, and the subtleties of vintage in this tasting of the best wines our Estate can produce. This is a guided tasting that allows you to compare and contrast these wines side-by-side in our tasting salon. We usually charge $25 per person for this tasting but it’s free to our online friends for the rest of this season.
Our Green Tour was featured in Sunset magazine this year and is given at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Enjoy this extraordinary in-depth tour of our eco-friendly Estate learning about our organic garden, abundant wildlife, Wine Creek restoration, sustainable winegrowing and more. Stroll to the top of our benchland vineyards to take in the breathtaking vista of Dry Creek Valley, our serene lake and the blocks of our different varietals. The tour ends at a hillside table, with a panoramic view, and enjoy a guided tasting of our award winning Estate wines including our new Deux Terres Cabernet. While you’re sipping this reserve wine you can behold the very block of the vineyard that produced the grapes for this extraordinary blend. This tour is a $30 value, again free to our online friends.
We’re hoping to see several of our online friends here as we continue harvest. Just give us a call at 800.447.3060 to make your reservation and mention you heard about it here. One free tour or tasting per visit, please. Come see what everyone is talking about!

Sounds like a great deal. Too bad Ohio is so far away. I like your regular cabernets and would love to taste the reserves.
Very nice website BTW.
Hi Dan — I’m quite sure that can be arranged! And we like your blog!!
