 "There
is
nothing
like
wine for
conjuring
up
feelings
of
contentment
and
goodwill.
It is
less of
a drink
than an
experience,
an
evocation,
a
spirit.
It
produces
sensations
that
defy
description."

Ask
to
try
our
Dry
Blueberry
wine
A
little-known
gem that
we
produce
in
very
small
quantities
is
our
Dry
Blueberry
wine.
In
fact,
we
make
so
little
of
it--
only
a
dozen
or
so
cases
a
year-- that
we
don't
even
include
it
on
our
tasting
list.
If
you
are
a
dry
red
wine
drinker,
you
may
enjoy
the
subtle
oaking
and
complexity
that
this
whole-fruit-fermented
wine
has
to
offer.
Priced
at
$13.49/bottle,
its
a
great
alternative
to
pricier
dry
red
grape
wines.
It'll
only
be
around
for
little
longer,
so
be
sure
to
sample
some
soon!

Satek
Winery's
eNewsletter
May 2010 |
Dear
Christina,
Spring is in
full
bloom here
at Satek,
which
means our
busiest time
of year
is right
around the
corner! We
look forward
to seeing
the familiar
faces of our
summer
lake visitors
again. We've
got some
great events
planned
for the next
several
months, but
regardless
of when you
stop by, its
always a
festive
atmosphere
here.
 One
brand-new
event we
have planned
is for
May 21-23.
We are
calling
it the
Satek Spring
Spectacular,
but the
details are
top-secret!
I can't say
much, but I
can tell you
that you
won't want
to miss it!
Keep an eye
on your
email inbox
for details
the week of
May 17th.
Lastly, I
know I've
been building
anticipation
for months
now about
the release
of our new
Traminette,
but the wait
is almost
over!
You may have
also read
about Traminette
in newspaper
articles and
other
publications
over the
past few
months; it
was recently
named
Indiana's
Signature
Wine. We
are
releasing
our
Traminette on Memorial
Day weekend,
May 29-31.
With only 70
cases made
this year,
we
anticipate
it won't be
around for
long. So
stop by and
"Try on
Traminette"--
as if you
needed an
excuse to
come to the
winery...
Sláinte!
(Irish for
"cheers!")

Spring's the
time to
blush
With
Spring's
warmer
weather
comes
alfresco
lunches,
lighter
fare, and a
more casual
approach to
entertaining.
Enter our
Kreibaum Bay
Dry Rosè, a
perfect wine
for this
time of
year. This
dry blush
wine is
"light,
refreshing,
and has a
crisp
acidity
which makes
it a great
food wine",
says Satek's
Associate
Winemaker,
Shane
Christ.
A lot of
people
think
"sweet"
when
they see
rosè
wines,
but not
so for
our Dry
Rosè,
which is
made in
a
European
style
from our
own
Steuben
and
Seyval
grapes.
Although
bone-dry,
this
wine's
fruitiness
and
minimal
tannins
make it
a good
option for
even
sweet
wine
drinkers.
Pair
with
seafood,
poultry,
quiche,
or
vegetarian
dishes.
