Playoffs, Passport, Crab! What More Do You Need?

by Laura Ness - @hervineness on January 17, 2012

We’re super excited at Burrell School now that the 49ers have marched past the Saints and will be marching on to confront the Giants this coming Sunday! In honor, Anne will make popcorn to munch while you sample through the wine selection. All the tasting room staff will be wearing red and gold in support of the home team, so show your colors!

On Saturday, since it’s Passport, you’ll be able to take home a Passport Pack of four wines for $89 – great value! Also, stock up on January wine specials, as these vintages are running low!

January Wine Specials: Get ‘Em While They Last!! Going, going, gone!!

2008 Old School Cabernet, $24 (20% discount)
2007 Chardonnay, $20 (30% discount)
2006 Pinot Noir, $30.80 (30% discount)

If you’re feeling crabby on Sunday and not in a football mood,maybe you want to visit the four restaurant locations in Santa Cruz that are participating in the SCMA Crab and Wine Tasteoff, from 1pm til 4pm. For $49, you can visit two locations taste a crab dish and sip some wine. Make sure you visit Paradise Beach Grill in Capitola, where Burrell School will be pouring alongside Bargetto, Fernwood Cellars and Savannah-Chanelle.

Don’t feel all that crabby? Want to hang out on the Summit instead of Santa Cruz? Come have some popcorn, then go visit our sister wineries, MJA, Poetic Cellars and Loma Prieta, who will all be offering crab dishes for purchase, $5 each, on Sunday.

Harvest Wrap At Burrell School

November 27, 2011

The harvest of 2011 could well be classified as an interminable wait, punctuated by frenetic bouts of picking activity, followed by yet more interminable waiting, nail biting, some pleas to heaven for abatement of rain, and abundance of sun, followed by thankful, hurried blitzkriegs of picking in advance of yet more grey, gloomy, ill-portending storm [...]
