Debut of Oak Leaf Vineyards at the 2008 Florida State International Wine Competition Brings Home the Gold
Ripon, CA (Vocus) February 19, 2008
At the prestigious Florida State International Wine Competition this month, a new brand, Oak Leaf Vineyards from California, has won gold. With 84 wineries competing in Chardonnay category, only four received gold medals and Oak Leaf was the biggest bargain by far, at .97 suggested retail price in California and .97 in most other states.
“With the economy slowing and as we move into tax season where dollars are tighter, finding value in the wine aisle is ever more important,” said Mario Pulido, winemaker for Oak Leaf Vineyards. Oak Leaf Vineyards provides very high quality wine at extremely good prices. Available in five varietals — Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and White Zinfandel — Oak Leaf Vineyards wine looks like wines twice the modest price. The traditional label highlights four seasonal oak trees.
“Our first awards — Gold and Bronze at the 2008 Florida State Fair International Wine Competition and Silver and Bronze at the 2008 San Francisco Wine Competition show our approach — ‘easy to drink with plenty of flavor’ — is a winning one. With the money you save on wine, your family can enjoy those little extra things in life,” continued Pulido.
Oak Leaf Vineyard wines are available nationally at Wal-Mart stores that are licensed to sell wine.
Note to Editors:
Side Bar Story Idea:
Extreme Value Wines mean what they say
Never in the 6,000-year history of wine has there been the choice, the quality, and more than anything, the values, available to the American wine consumer. With 100,000 labels in the market, that consumer can now find what he (and more likely she) wants at prices less than .00 a bottle. With tax season approaching and concerns about the current economic climate, everyone wants their dollars to go further. Oak Leaf Vineyards is part of the new set of extreme value wines that are easy to drink, flavorful and over-deliver for a modest price.

‘Bloody Good’ Australian Rosé now Available in the US — Angove Nine Vines’ 2008 Rosé Wows Critics, Sells Out in Six Months
Saint Helena, CA (PRWEB) March 17, 2009
S.A., Australia — The 2008 Nine Vines Rosé from Angove Family Winemakers, a Grenache-Shiraz beauty that garnered press praise and competition awards from the day it was released, is already sold out in Australia–but we have been holding the Rose for a spring release here in the US market and are fortunate it will be available across the nation starting this month.
The Nine Vines Rosé features a fresh, crisp palate with length and balance, and a range and intensity of fruit flavors and aromas that a drinker might suspect it’s sweet–until the dry finish. This entry from Angove Family Winemakers is drier than most mass-market Australian rosés, more versatile with food, and more refreshing on a spring or summer afternoon. The Nine Vines Rosé has been a consistent performer for years, popular at home in Australia and highly regarded around the world, but the 2008 has been a true phenomenon.
Part of the secret undoubtedly lies in winemaker Tony Ingle and in his background working in Languedoc, the heartland of classic dry rosé production in France. Ingle brings that sensibility to Angove Family Winemakers, adds the twist of riper, sunnier Australian fruit, and delivers a wine that’s both fruity and savory, both seductive as it hits the mouth and satisfying while the finish lingers. And all of this for a suggested retail price of .99.
The Australian wine press was absolutely smitten with the 2008 release, gaining from one prominent critic the ultimate Australian compliment, “Bloody Good.” Now just a fond memory Down Under, the Nine Vines Rosé is debuting in the US market, one of the first 2008 rosés to make an entrance.
The wine retails for .99 and will be available in top wine shops and restaurants nationally.
Angove Family Winemakers (http://www.angoves.com), one of Australia’s oldest family-owned wineries established in 1886 by Dr. William Thomas Angove, excels at crafting premium-quality wines by combining the time-honored winemaking methods of its forbearers with today’s cutting-edge technology and innovative packaging. Located in South Australia, Angove award-winning wines appeal to oenophiles worldwide with a premium range offered in the U.S., including Vineyard Select, Nine Vines and Red Belly Black. Trinchero Family Estates is the U.S. importer of Angove Family Winemakers.
