SPRING NEWS, 2012

"Selected by Oprah's "O list"!...

This is a delight for us. The January issue of O Magazine features our Umpqua Valley Gewurztraminer in the "White Essentials Super Flight" collection designed by Tastingroom.com. The story of Silk Purse is simple: Kerry's wanderings around the country as a wine consultant took him to many premium vineyard sites with absolutely delicious fruit. It became obvious to us that we needed to launch a small second brand and so we have focused on obtaining the highest quality fruit to pour into our Silk Purse line of wines.

2008 Silk Purse Gewurztraminer The Silk Purse Gewurztraminer is from the Umpqua Valley in Oregon and was chosen for the brightness of the fruit. Dry and fragrant, this Gewurztraminer pairs perfectly with light spring suppers and is delightful to sip late afternoons in your awakening garden.

"How sweet I roamed from field to field,
and tasted all the summer's pride”...

Our mission at Palmeri is to showcase the pinnacle of mountain fruit while at the same time work toward the long-term health and sustainability of our vineyard blocks and surrounding ecosystems. Our signature Boar, Bat, Cougar and Fox labels remind us daily of our vision for co-sustainability. Our wines are available in restaurants and retailers through the country, but we also invite you join us at the table or in the field for a first hand look at why high-elevation vineyards produce such startingly delicious wines.

Kerry Damskey and son Drew in Nashik, IndiaOver the past 5 years, our son Drew has traveled the world to gain hands-on training from innovative wineries, barrel-makers and marketers. His internships and jobs have taken him to France, Scotland, China and Australia. This spring, he returned from a year-long post, working at SULA WINES in Nashik, India, where he gained unparalelled experience in winemaking, sales and marketing, and cultural understanding in this up-and-coming marketshare.

Drew has promised to keep his feet in local dirt for now, so that he an introduce his extended circle to Palmeri wines.
