We love lamb here at Burrell School, and are delighted to have March arriving like one! Should go great with our newly released 2008 Principal’s Choice Pinot Noir. Come taste for yourself. You know what they say: If March comes in like a lamb, it leaves like a lion. We’re certainly hoping for some rain after all this summery weather.
March is the official month of Pinot Paradise here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Burrell School will be part of the new Winemaker Dinner at The Mountain Winery on Friday, March 22, and will once more be a stop along the Pathway to Pinot Paradise on Saturday, followed by a Winemaker Dinner at Shadowbrook on March 23. Sunday, March 24, brings The Grand Cruz Tasting of Pinot Paradise at Villa Ragusa in Campbell. Meanwhile, we have lots of other activities going on, including a detour for barrel tasting and futures sales for our wine club members and a tip of the hat to Saint Paddy on his day.
