SUMMARY:Good Friday: April 3/ 2026
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday: April 3/ 26\n \nGood Friday\, a Christian observance\, takes place two days before Easter Sunday—falling on April 3 in 2026. It is a somber day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. While many observe it as a day of reflection\, quiet gatherings\, and fasting\, it also marks a time when families come together. For winemakers and customers\, this can be a moment to prepare wine for Easter feasts or share symbolic glasses during family meals. Whether you observe the religious roots or simply enjoy a long weekend\, Good Friday can be a time to pause\, reflect\, and connect.

SUMMARY:International Chardonnay Day: May 21 \, 2026
DESCRIPTION:International Chardonnay Day\n \nThursday before Memorial Day (May 21 in 2026) \nDescribing the flavours of a Chardonnay can be very challenging because they differ based on different winemaking techniques. They boast impressive ranges from the expected butter and oak to fresh fruit flavours of citrus\, apple and tropical fruits. While many Chardonnays have high aromatic complexity\, others can have smoky\, vanilla and spice notes due to barrel fermentation or distinctive buttery aromas due to malolactic fermentation. \nThese are not the old over-oaked Chardonnay from years ago. Also French Chablis is a Chardonnay. The wines should be fruity yet balanced by a steely\, mineral character that’s the epitome of Chardonnay this far north. \nEnjoy this Chardonnay 15 % off all Chardonnay kits from May 18 to May 24\, 2026 – Cannot be combined with other offers!
