Thanksgiving in Wine Country!

It's that time of year again, a slight chill to the air ,the most beautiful colors painted across the trees and 30 cases of Nouveau have wandered into the tasting room.

This year for Thanksgiving in wine country we will be once again spotlighting our Nouveau Syrah, we even have a great lapel pin showing off the label art.

We hope you will stop on by the 28th, 29th, and 30th when Claar Cellars will be celebrating Thanksgiving in style.

 

See you there!
