Smith Vineyard Retiring the Winery and Tasting Room
APRIL 3, 2018

To: Our Wine Club Members, Downtown Neighbors and Valued Customers

Someone once said that “drinking good wine, with good food, in good company is one of life’s most civilized pleasures’” and we could not agree with this more! That is why our decision to retire and close the Winery and Tasting Room has been a difficult one. Although, many of you may be surprised at this announcement, we can assure you that it has come after much thought and careful reflection. Making this decision has given us the opportunity to look back on all of the fond memories, while at the same time, look forward to our future in retirement. We have made many friends along the way, including our association with other local wineries and all of our neighbors in downtown Grass Valley. But, at the top of our gratitude list
is YOU…our valued customer!

The honors that we have received over the years have far exceeded anything that we could have imagined when we began this journey. We have been recognized by Sunset Magazine and received multiple awards for our wines over the years. Perhaps the ultimate honor has been to receive Double Gold, Best of Region and Best of State, for our 2013 Primitivo, by Calif. State Fair.

Smith Winery has been operating for 31 years in our community and we look forward to continuing to farm our vineyard and sell certified organically grown fruit to other winemakers. In addition, we look forward to traveling and spending more time with family and friends.

This is not a goodbye, as we hope to stay involved in our local community. It has been our pleasure to cross paths with each of you, and we are deeply grateful for all of your support as we pursued our labor of love. Our Tasting Room will be open through the end of May. Memorial Weekend we will be celebrating our retirement at the Tasting Room. We hope you can stop by.

Cheers to the good memories, good wine and good friends!
