Bubbles, blending, and bold reds

Love bubbles

February is a time for bubbles. Each year before Valentine's Day, Bending Branch releases its Tannat Frizzante Rosé. The 2021 vintage marks the fifth release of this wine, and it is more popular than ever.

We're also releasing our first Blanc de Blancs. Produced in the méthode champenoise style, this sparkler is100% Chardonnay.

Love blending

Throughout the month of January, more than 40 teams of 1840 club members participated in the1840 Blending Experience. The wines will be evaluated in blind rounds by General Manager Jennifer McInnis Fadel and me, and the winners will be announced on March 5.

Love bold reds

The February 2022 club releases include six new wines, four of which are bold reds. Each new release is highlighted on the next page.

My wife and Bending Branch co-owner Brenda Young and I wish you a month full of bubbles, bold red wines, and lots of love. Thank you for your club membership.

Warmly,

Dr. Bob
