Charles Krug Winery Dine with Marc Mondavi in Glendale, AZ
www.charleskrug.com
On Friday, December 12, meet at the Arrowhead Grill for a very special evening. Marc Mondavi, winery owner, winemaker and connoisseur, will host a winemaker dinner featuring the wines from his family's winery, Charles Krug.
Charles Krug Winery On Friday we tasted through all of our 2008 Charles Krug wines in barrel, our yearly vintage evaluation. What an outstanding vintage for us! There were great aromatics in the whites, and fantastic color and depth in the reds, which still have another year in barrel to mature. Everyone agreed that the page has turned at... Charles Krug, and these wines will really give us some additional forward momentum. Winemaker -DG-
Charles Krug Winery Wine Enthusiast's December 15th issue gives our 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon from our Yountville vineyards a 91! Wine & Spirits Magazine echoed the sentiment with a 91 in their Fall issue plus a Five Star ***** Champion of Value and Best Buy.
Charles Krug Winery Read Eric Asimov's Thanksgiving wine suggestions and his review of our Sauvignon Blanc in today's New York Times!

In a search for a response to the annual question of what to serve with the bird, the wine panel found that the Thanksgiving wine issue has no right answer, but many excellent solutions.
Charles Krug Winery just racked out of barrel our 2007 Generations Bordeaux Blend after two full years in New French Oak. It will be ready for bottling on Wednesday, and then bottle aged for 12 months prior to release. The 2007 Gen has exciting and expressive red fruit with a lot of aging potential. It should be fun to see how it evolves in the bottle. - Winemaker - DG

Happy Birthday! Sunday, November 8th, is Peter Mondavi, Sr.'s 95th birthday.
Inquiring minds want to know if Mr. M is still active in the wine industry. As president of the Charles Krug Winery, he comes to the office daily. Tastings, reviewing new equipment that comes into the winery and reading reports on production an...d harvest are part of his routine. Salut! MM, PMJr and the employees of the Charles Krug Winery.
Charles Krug Winery Harvest is complete! A hands on year in the vineyard and hands off in the cellar. Vines weren't pushed for high sugars because flavor & color developed early. We fermented our red wines with cooler temperatures to preserve the fruit and vineyard characters. Barrels Dave selected on his trip to France last year will be ...our "secret weapon" for perfect integration of flavor, color and finish of this wine vintage. - PMJr
Charles Krug Winery We are just finishing up picking our Yountville Cabernet. Great flavors this year, despite the rain we are still getting sugars in the 25 range, with moderate acids. An outstanding year for whites, and a great year for all of our Estate Yountville Cabernet vineyards. Winemaker -DG
Charles Krug Winery Read in the Fall issue of Napa Sonoma magazine a profile of Peter Mondavi, Sr. as we get set to celebrate his 95th birthday. In his sage wisdom, he offers this advice: "Whatever job you have, do it well," Mondavi said during an interview at his winery in St. Helena. "Then you can progress."
Charles Krug Winery We are currently 60% complete with harvest. We are bringing in some great Reserve lots this year, the flavors are outstanding. Winemaker -DG-

Charles Krug Winery Our '05 Generations is rated 92 in the Wine Enthusiast October issue. Steve Heimoff writes: Very plush and lush, offering deep, ripe flavors of blackberries, currants, cassis, violets, herbs and smoky cedar, wrapped into firm tannins. Should develop gracefully over the next 8–10 years. The wine is a Bordeaux blend with... a splash of Syrah, which seems to add a meaty note. Available online at www.charleskrug.com.
