Fireside Wines on Vacation

We're always happy to hear that you're giving Fireside wines as gifts, taking them to friends homes to share, and even taking them on vacation.  

Here are a few snapshots taken by Fireside Winery friends recently.

We love being a part of your life together -- from the beginning.

New White Wine - Tasting Trial

We were proud to host our first-ever white wine tasting trial this past weekend for lovers of sweeter-styled white wines.  

From 11am through 6pm we hosted groups of Fireside fans for a taste testing event.  Four examples of a new white wine were sampled and participants judged each for preference and suggested possible names. 

Thank you for sharing this experience with us and we thoroughly value your opinions.  Below are a few of the photographs we shot during the event.
