You've Asked For It....Classes (think GIFTS) at and in the Winery:

• Winemaker for the Day: The Art & Science of Wine Blending. Experience first hand what it takes to blend three wines in order to bring out the best in each. Join our Winemaker to learn about the nuances of this craft and then blend, name, help bottle, cork and label your blend!

We have plans to turn this premise on its head. We will put three wines from around the world up against three of the same wines made by Chatham Hill Winery. All wines will be similar in price and wine making styles. See if you or your giftee can tell the difference! Date: Feb 15, 11am to 12:30 pm. Cost: Public $30 pp; Wine Club $25 pp

We are grateful for your business...

As many of you know, we relocated our business this year from the Gateway Center complex closer to downtown Cary. It has been a challenge in many ways but most importantly in the dramatic decrease in visitors. We realize that it will take time for folks to find us again and regret the loss of those who have gone to our old site, saw we were not there and assumed we are out of business.  All this to say, we are very grateful to those of you that have continued to support us with your business. Speaking for all small, independent businesses, this time of year is often critical for our survival. Please shop local as much as possible so we can all be around for many years to come. 

 Thank you and may you find peace during this special time of year. The Chatham Hill Wine Gang
