Picking Your Perfect Peony Lane Wine


Choosing your Peony Lane wine should be as fun as drinking it! Here are some friendly tips to help you out:


1. Explore our star players: Have you tried our Estate Pinot Noir or Sovereignon Blanc yet? They're crowd-pleasers for a reason!
2. Join the club: Our Wine Club is like a VIP pass to the world of Peony Lane. You'll get first dibs on new releases and some pretty sweet perks.
3. Can't decide? No problem!: Our Vintner's Select 6 is like a greatest hits album, but for wine. It's a fantastic way to sample the best of what we offer.


Your Wine Has Arrived – Now What?


I know, I know – you're excited to pop that cork! But trust me, a little patience goes a long way. Here's why giving your wine a breather is a good idea:


1. Let it shake off the journey: Wine gets 'bottle shock' during shipping. It's like jet lag, but for wine. Give it a few days to a week to recover.
2. Temperature matters: Your wine might have faced some temperature swings during its trip. Let it chill (figuratively) and get back to its happy place.
3. Let it settle: Our wines are unfiltered and natural, which means there might be some sediment. Let it settle to the bottom – it's all part of the natural wine charm!
4. Breathe in, breathe out: Even without opening, your wine is adjusting to its new home. Give it time to get comfortable.


Storing Your Liquid Treasure


Now, let's make sure your Peony Lane wines stay as amazing as the day they left our vineyard. Here are some storage tips from your friendly neighborhood winemaker:


1. Keep it in the dark: Wine and sunlight don't mix. Think of your wine as a vampire – it prefers the darkness.
2. Stay cool: Aim for about 55°F (13°C). Avoid spots with yo-yo temperatures like kitchens or garages.
3. Back of the closet magic: No fancy wine cellar? No problem! The back of a closet works wonders.
4. Sideways is the new upright: Storing bottles on their side keeps the cork happy and moist.
5. Kitchen is for cooking, not storing: I know it's tempting to keep wine in the kitchen, but trust me, your wine will thank you for finding a cooler, stabler spot.


Remember, our Peony Lane wines are like pampered little beasts. They're used to the gentle life in our cellar, so treat them with the same TLC at home. A little care goes a long way in making sure every sip is as delightful as we intended.


By following these friendly guidelines, you're all set to get the most out of your Peony Lane wine adventure. Each bottle is ready to tell you a story of Colorado's amazing high-altitude terroir. So, sit back, pour a glass, and enjoy the journey!


Cheers! 🍷✨
