Yeske Buie Open House in Vienna

Back by popular demand, we will be featuring a professional tarot card reader. Eve from Elite Tarot will be helping guests gain clarity and insight on business and/or personal questions.

Is this fortune telling? No. While tarot card readings are generally forward-looking, [Eve] will not tell you the name of your future spouse, who will win a sporting event, or who the next president will be. What [Eve] can do is help you to unlock the answers inside you regarding paths in life you are taking, choices you are making, and decisions you are considering. Why give away your power of free will to someone else when you can harness your own power to embrace and own your life’s journey!

2007 Ocean Reserve
“I Am Giving, I Am Sparking, I Am Limited, I Am The Ocean”

We will be featuring the Iron Horse 2007 and 2009 Ocean Reserve sparkling wine. This cuvee was created to celebrate the 125th anniversary of National Geographic and $4 from the sale of each bottle will be donated to create marine protected areas and reduce overfishing around the world.

In addition to the Ocean Reserve, we will be featuring Iron Horse’s 2011 UnOaked Chardonnay.

Merry Edwards Winery

Merry Edwards started brewing beer in her dorm room then eventually went to UC Davis and became one of the first women to get a graduate degree in oenology and work in what was then a male-dominated field.

While seeking her first winemaking position, Merry encountered gender discrimination time and again.  Supported by her mentor, Dr. Maynard Amerine, she stayed the course, pursuing a career as a winemaker, rejecting positions as a laboratory technician, the traditional role of women in the science of winemaking at that time.  Merry’s perseverance precipitated changes in hiring policies, paving the way for future generations of women to take charge in the cellar.

In many ways, Merry Edwards is like her wines — complex, balanced and memorable. An intricate blend of artistic vision, scientific training, spirit and grace, she leaves a lasting impression.

We will be featuring Merry’s 2011 Pinot Noir.

2009 Zinfandel

[W]e are as attentive to the other aspects of our property and the community as we are to our vines. We maintain and encourage biodiversity on the winery estate with chickens, a thriving bee hive, and a diverse vegetable and herb garden that includes the medicinal plants we use in the compost preparations such as yarrow, chamomile and dandelion. In the holistic spirit of biodynamics, we will also continue to cultivate a sense of community with our neighbors, growers, and natural surroundings.

We will be featuring DeLoach’s 2009 Forgotten Vines Zinfandel. Their Zinfandel was recently recommended in Wine Enthusiast Magazine‘s September 2013 feature, “Insider’s Guide to Zinfandel.”

YeBu Souvenir
