While the sugar plum fairies dance in the Christmas season, here in the winery, our latest vintages of WiSH wines are quietly aging at the precise temperature they need to bring out their fine flavors. WiSH wines are extra special because they vinify for 24-28 months, whereas most California wines vinify for about 18 months. The longer vinification period is in part why WiSH wines are so appropriate for special occasions. If you would like to purchase WiSH wine for your next special occasion, we have a Christmas sale coming up on December 11th! Follow our social media pages for more details. December is the last month of our WiSH Vineyards 2021 Get Out and Hike Challenges. We're wrapping up on a grand scale with a feature on the Boca Negra Canyon Trail near Albuquerque in New Mexico. See the more than 100 petroglyphs along the Boca Negra Canyon Trail, or hike somewhere closer to home. Get outside and enjoy the fall weather, and then reward yourself with a glass of WiSH wine! Also on our social media pages this month, we'll share an interesting poster map of California wine regions and which kinds of wine varietals each region is best known for. We'll point you to where you can buy the poster. Don't forget to watch for our Christmas sale! You can save on everything on the WiSH Vineyards website, especially on wine! We hope you make lots of joyful "clinking" noise with friends and family over the holiday. See you in the New Year! Cheers! The grapes have been harvested, and we're looking ahead to a fun-filled holiday season here in Malibu. If you've never visited Malibu, you might not know that we're situated just 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles. There is a lot to see and do in the area. With our mild winter climate, beautiful beaches, exciting attractions, and friendly people, you might like to plan a trip! On our social media pages this month, we're continuing our WiSH Vineyards 2021 Get Out and Hike Challenge with a feature on the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park in Florida. For a great chance to see alligators in their natural habitat, this is the place! One year, tourists witnessed a fight between an alligator and a python. The struggle continued for hours before a second alligator came along and broke up the fight. It's a great hike to add to your "do" list. Whether you hike the Anhinga Trail or a trail closer to home, the goal is just to get moving. You can treat yourself to a glass of WiSH wine after you've worked off some of that Halloween candy! November heralds our biggest WiSH wine sales of the year, including our Thanksgiving sale, and don't miss our Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals! Save on everything on the WiSH Vineyards website, including wine! Cheers! So far, California has seen more than 6,000 fires in 2021 alone - with 1.6 million acres burned. The fires are broad reaching, with devastating impacts to families and wildlife. The 2021 wildfire season has already outpaced the record-breaking 2020 season. If you would like to help those in need, there are many ways to contribute. You can donate to organizations like the Red Cross, which provides shelter, food, and emotional support to affected evacuees. You can donate to the Humane Society or the Global Giving California Wildfire Relief Fund to help save animals. If you want to support long-term recovery needs, consider donating to the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund. We hope for better days ahead. Thankfully, the fires did not affect us at Wish Vineyards, and we just completed a successful grape harvest. Here are a few photos from this year's harvest... We hope you will follow us on social media this month. We'll be sharing a hilarious kitchen apron you might like to buy for your upcoming holiday get togethers! Learn about a monumental discovery of rare bottles of wine and spirits found in a royal palace wine cellar in Greece! We're continuing our WiSH Vineyards 2021 Get Out and Hike Challenge this month with a featured hike to one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. The Yosemite Falls Trail in Yosemite National Park is right here in our WiSH Vineyard's home state of California. It is sure to impress you with its spectacular scenery! Hike the Yosemite Falls Trail or traverse some of the hikes in your own region. Wherever you go, we hope there will always be a glass of WiSH wine waiting for you at the end of the trail! Don't miss our spine-tingling Halloween sale at the end of the month! Save on everything on the WiSH Vineyards website, including wine! Cheers!December Update from WiSH vineyards
