For
Immediate Release – August 15, 2009 Perigeaux
Vineyards & Winery would
like to extend an invitation to members of the media to come to the
vineyard during the next four (4) weekends to observe harvest operations
in progress. The
adventurous among you are even welcome to pick some grapes and help with
crushing/de-stemming processes. This
is an unusual opportunity that we hope you don’t miss!
If you are interested in observing and/or helping with our annual
harvest, please contact the vineyard owner at the below email or phone
number. We
are pleased to announce that our 2007 Mackall Road Merlot and 2007
Patuxent River Muscato both won bronze medals at the 2009
Maryland Winemaster’s Choice Competition.
Also of note, we recently premiered our 2007 Perigeaux Cabernet
Sauvignon and Chardonnay Reserve wines at Nick's
of Calvert (a fine wine and food market in Prince Frederick,
Maryland) and our Chardonnay and Merlot Reserve wines are now on the
wine list at the Dry Dock Restaurant (one of Southern Maryland's premier restaurants,
on Solomon’s Island). Perigeaux
Vineyards & Winery produces wines from our
own estate-grown vineyards right here in Calvert County. We are one
of only a handful of Maryland wineries to do so.
We feel that local foods, local grapes, and local wines are the
perfect combination! Current
goings on at the farm include the 2008 red wines resting comfortably in
the barrels for the next 9-12 months, aging until they are perfect for
bottling next year. Upcoming
events include: The Maryland Wine
Festival (Sept 19-20 in Westminster, MD) and The
Riverside Wine Festival at Sotterley Plantation (Oct 3-4 in
Hollywood, MD). Also this
summer, Perigeaux Vineyards & Winery has a regular tent most Friday
evenings from 6:00-9:00 at the North
Beach Farmer’s Market. Perigeaux
Vineyard & Winery is located off of Route 4 in St. Leonard, MD and
is open
for visitors from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays and from noon-5 p.m. on
Sundays, by appointment. To
