Come See the Whales in Mendocino

This month with some 20,000 gray whales migrating north from birthing grounds in Mexico to their winter home in Alaska, there will be plenty to see. You can just come and stand at one of the great vantage points. Or visit one of the 28th annual major Whale Festivals:

Little River Whale Festival - Mar. 13 & 14

Fort Bragg Whale Festival - Mar. 20 & 21

We hope you'll stop by and visit us so you can taste some of our Whale Watching friendly wines.

March Feature - Cellared Wines

 

Over the years, we have cellared a very small amount of each of our best wines to allow additional bottle aging. Most bottles of wine in the U.S. are consumed within 48 hours of purchase. At Yorkville we encourage you from time to time to enjoy the pleasurers of an aged wine, which allows aromas to develop and tannins to soften to a long silky finish.

We have cataloged what we have, and we're making it available this month. Further, as our March Special- you can receive Free Shipping & Handling on cellared wines.

Just a few of the recent awards and accolades we're pleased to have received.

If you click on the link below, you'll discover wines back to our 1995 vintage. Many listed are on our all-time Top Accolades List.

So, welcome to our dusty shelves. If you browse a bit, we hope you'll discover some classics you can't resist!
