The relationship with Michael's is much more than just having our wines in a wonderful Italian restaurant. Growing up as an Italian-American, I was fortunate to experience the amazing cultural foods and the homemade wines which were considered part of the meal every day. Our foods were created primarily to complement the wines we made. So it’s been an incredible opportunity for Pierini to profile six of our exciting new wines with such an eclectic and creative menu of brilliance at Michael’s. Come support Pierini and you will clearly understand the passion we feel of being a part of this amazing restaurant.

On September 18th we will be bottling in Oceanside. The time will be 9:30 am until 1:30pm. This will be our final bottling for the year. It is time to make way for the 2010 Vintage. If you are in the neighborhood please feel to stop in and catch the excitement. The address is 3800 Oceanic #106, Oceanside, California.
On October 9th Fifty Barrels will have their annual crush party. This is a must attend event. We at Pierini will be in attendance as always. Live bands, food, and wine tasting. All Pierini wine club members who attend will get a barrel tasting of up coming wines. Please check facebook or the website for additional information and entry fee.
September release for the wine club will most likely be scheduled during the first week of October. More specific information to come!!! You will be receiving the 2005 Cabernet Franc. Without question this wine will last years in the bottle. The most descriptive single word that comes to mind is "elegance". The nose is powerful and full of spice. Harvest was difficult in 2005 due a fire we endured in late August. However, 5 years later the Cabernet Franc (hardest hit fruit in the vineyard) while dressed in medium toasted French Oak, brings amazing texture, smoke, black currant, and spice that holds up to Duck, smoked meats, and hard Italian cheese!!!! Wow such a great surprise.
We only produced 24 cases and will most likely sell out of this wine by January.
Thanks to Angie, Jo, Melissa, Sam, Michelle, Chris and Trish...Lovechild 2006 was born! Great blend of cabernet and syrah. Look for this wine in November. Only 35 cases produced...it wont last long.
The 2007 Merlot is another big hit! It once again defies the stigma of "Sideways." She won't disappoint you.
The 2006 Zinfandel is absolutely incredible. After 3 years in French oak this wine still has the power to push fruit. We hope to have this out by Christmas but no promises......
Thanks to all that participated in the November bottling event. It was a wonderful day :) !!!!
Come Check it out! Great time to speak with Jan and taste the Wines!
