The first couple tons of grapes have arrived!! We are starting the harvest of our Nouveau series. These wines are not crushed they go through what is called a Carbonic Maceration, this when the whole cluster is fermenting as whole. The Nouveau’s are meant to be drunk early and young. The purpose of this is to kick off the 2009 harvest year. There will be three wines in this series and the Muscat grapes were the first to arrive followed by Syrah. Stay tuned for updates on the Nouveau series and when the event releasing these wines will be held. I’ll give you a little hint, it’s in mid November!

Saturday July 11th featured wines!
This weekend I will be pouring our 2007 Fresno State Barbera and our 2007 San Joaquin County Chardonnay!
Our SJC Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown by the Duarte family, features ties of rich apple, pear, melon, and spice. Medium oak flavors expand and develop the wines full bodied texture and finish. Served chilled, this wine is the perfect accompaniment for traditional light meat venues and heavy hors d’oeuvres.
Our 2007 FS Barbera is produced from grapes grown in the Fresno State Vineyards, our 2007 Barbera's bright ruby hues are followed by a core of cherry and berry flavors with spice accents. Like its award-winning predecessors this vintage pairs nicely with pasta, veal, and beef dishes.
Call 559.278.4867 to place and order now! If you show up on Saturday at the Farm Market from 11-3pm you can receive 10% off on bottles and 15% on case purchases. See you Then!

Out of Gas!
While delivering a 90 case order to our Fresno State Farm Market, I forgot to check how much fuel was left before I left on my journey. Halfway down Barstow….. put put put the forklift was out of gas! Here is the Hilarious picture of me stuck waiting to get re-fueled!

Fresno State Winery Attends Miss CA Pageant 2009
For the past couple years Fresno State Winery has poured wine at the Miss CA pageant reception. This event is spectacular. I definitely recommend going next year to support our Fresno County representative. At our wine table we poured White Zin, Muscat, Chardonnay and Merlot. Our 2008 Classic Chardonnay was a hit! If your are interested in the purchase of any of these wines please visit our website at fresnostatewinery.com
