The Duke is thrilled to tell you that Danny Schuster from New Zealand, known world-wide for his winemaking and grape-growing skills, will be visiting the store 11:00AM-1:00PM on Saturday, February 17!

Schuster trained in Europe as a winemaker/viticulturist and has 30 years of international winemaking experience. He has worked in many of the world's fine winemaking regions, including Burgundy and Bordeaux in France, the Yarra Valley in Australia, Stellenbosch in South Africa, the Napa Valley in California, and Tuscany in Italy. The well-known clients for whom he consults include Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Moraga, Chateau Palmer, Chateau Cheval Blanc, Solaia and Sassicaia. His pioneering work with Canterbury Pinot Noir resulted in the first gold medal for this variety in New Zealand. The picture shown is of his vineyards there.

Stop by the store this Saturday and meet one of the legends of the wine world. We'll feature some special pricing on his Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling to mark the occasion. We also will offer some special pricing on other selected wines that day. We're keeping the details quiet for right now, so be sure to come in or give us a call!
