”Balance is an integral concept in Gianni Manucci’s life, influencing everything from architectural style and his sculpting to the importance he places on family and friends, finally, to his wine- making…”

“They wrote this article about us and Paso Robles in an Austrian magazine, and I have no clue what it says, but it looks good and it sounds good…”

“Author Janet Penn Franks makes the journey among the region’s many historical and newly established wineries easy and fun as well as informative. She profiles 60 of the area’s premier wineries, providing wine tasters with clear and simple directions to the vineyard and wines of their choice…”

“When father Junipero Serra planted the first grapes at Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1779, little did he know that planting would spark a whopping $15 billion industry in the 21st century…”

Hot-off-the-press is our new marketing postcards which are being shipped out this week to all of our Coyote friends and advocates. I hope you enjoy this memorable postcard and let us know what you think. If you don't get your copy, just let us know your new mailing address and we will make sure to send one your way.

Also, on the back of the postcards we have printed our new pricing, effective on Feb. 01, 2002. Please note, due to the elimination of distributors in our sales channel, that our prices have been decreased by 25-30%. I hope this is good news to you, as we wanted to pass-on this savings to our great Coyote customers, friends, and advocates.

Beginning the end of last year in 2001, we hosted a few private parties and wine tastings with great success. This idea began with special focus business groups, private corporations (real estate agencies, etc.), to private house parties. All with one common theme; enhancing their events by having a vineyard owner/winemaker join in with a few good wines for tasting and vineyard/winery education. We hope to continue this exciting event throughout 2003,

..so if you are interested in the details, please give us a call 805-239-4770.

You could produce your own Private Label Wine. Please contact us if you have any questions, and feel free to distribute this to anyone else you feel may appreciate this great opportunity. There maybe a timeline (due date) constraint, so please read this and reply A.S.A.P.

Coyote Creek Vineyard was recently approved as "one-the-first" winegrowers to participate in the California's Farmers Market program. And we have chosen to start off with the Beverly Hills market on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month, beginning on September 16th. Future locations will be announced in the near future.

Our efforts began shortly after the ABC's (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control) announcement memorandum of 2/8/01 issued by the Interim Director, Mr. Manual R. Espinoza. The section bill was originally intended to generate sales and market exposure of wine from small family-type operations.
