NEWS & HAPPENINGS WITH HIRSCH VINEYARDS

Dear Friends,

We are proud and honored to announce that David Hirsch has been nominated for a James Beard award in the category Outstanding Wine Professional. We are humbled to be on a list that includes such outstanding wine folks as Paul Grieco, Merry Edwards, Neal Rosenthal, Eric Solomon and Alpana Singh.

We also have some spectacular events coming up all over the U.S.: Napa, DC, San Francisco, Boston and Dallas are all on the list. Details are below, and please contact Jasmine Hirsch if you have any questions about these events.

Lastly, it seems there was some confusion regarding the release of the 2007 San Andreas and the 2008 Chardonnay. These wines are not allocated, and you may purchase whatever quantity you wish. Only the Single Blocks are allocated, and all our other wines are sold on a first come, first served basis. If this effects an order you have recently placed with us and you would like to change it, please contact Tess Bryant.

All the best,
The Hirsch Family
