Tinhorn Creek Vineyards decided the time was right to craft a new series of wines and thus the Oldfield’s Collection (now called the Oldfield Series) was born. Tinhorn Creek celebrates this harvest season with the release of new Oldfield Series wines, a new vertical package and two winemaker dinners in collaboration with Manuel Ferreira and Le Gavroche restaurant. Saturday, October 10th, 2009 at 6:30pm at the winery enjoy a multi course dinner designed to complement the exceptional wines of the Oldfield’s Series – the 2006 Merlot, the 2006 Syrah and the 2008 2Bench, as well as other special Tinhorn Creek wines. Tickets are $110.00 inclusive.  Reservations are a must and can be made at www.tinhorn.com or call the winery toll free at 888-484-6467. If Oliver is not in your travel plans, Friday, November 6^th, this dynamic duo does it all again, this time at Le Gavroche in Vancouver. Dinner at Le Gavroche is $95.00 per person. Please call 604-685-3924 to reserve your table.

The Oldfield Series began with the winery’s cornerstone varietal Merlot and has since expanded to include 2Bench, a blend of 5 estate grown white wines and more recently a Syrah. On October 1^st, alongside the release of their 2006 Oldfield Series Merlot, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is thrilled to release for the first time to the general public their 2006 Oldfield Series Syrah. A milestone, this release signifies growth within the winery as the past two vintages of Syrah were available exclusively to Tinhorn Creek’s Crush Club members due to limited availability.

Also being released on October 1 is a special vertical recounting the history of the Oldfield’s Collection/Oldfield Series Merlot. This six-vintage pack, containing a bottle each of 2001 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot (cork), 2001 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot (Stelvin), 2002 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot, 2003 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot, 2004 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot, 2005 Oldfield’s Collection Merlot and 2006 Oldfield Series Merlot, will be available for $250 through Tinhorn Creek Vineyards.  With only 100 for sale, mark your calendar and be sure to get yours while they last.
