Some Updates...

It has been a long hiatus, but Cox Creek Cellars' Blog is back. It has been a busy year here at the winery. We had some great events this summer, including our annual Sunset Classical Concert, Pig Roast, and Hungarian Goulash.

Perhaps the most unique event of all that happened here this year was just a few weeks ago. The Canadian Cancer Society held their Wellington Warrior Challenge, a Tough Mudder inspired obstacle course. It was an extremely successful event with 270 participants, and raised $51000. Yes $51000. We even had a special commemorative edition of our Cox Creek Red which we named "Warrior Wine". It was a great day, and we hope to have them back next year.

I have to say it... Christmas and the Holiday season will be upon us before you know it. We are busy trying to get everything ready here. We will have five different flavours of wine jelly made from our wines. What a great hostess gift that would be, a bottle of wine with its accompanying wine jelly.We will also be stocking up on gift basket supplies. We can customize and wrap gift baskets here for the holiday season.

And don't forget to stop by the winery for our Open House on December 8th and 9th. We will be sampling wine, and wine jelly, and we will have a selection of cheeses and crackers.

That's all for now. I'll keep everyone updated on the flavours of wine jelly we have once they are all finished!
