We are thrilled to be hosting the first ever Tablas Creek-sponsored Mediterranen cruise in the summer of 2013, aboard Azamara Club Cruises' 694-passenger ship Azamara Journey. Our seven-night cruise begins July 21st in Barcelona and includes stops in Marseilles, Sanary sur Mer, St. Tropez and Cannes before concluding in Monte Carlo. Winemaker Neil Collins will lead onboard and shore events that include a welcome reception, a multi-course winemaker dinner and a special seminar and wine tasting in which we delve into the blending of our Esprit de Beaucastel and Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc wines. The highlight of the trip will be a visit to our sister winery Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape for an estate tour with the Perrin family and a fabulous wine-paired meal prepared by their Michelin-starred chef Laurent Deconick. Prices start at $2,196 per person. Visit our Travel Partners' website for more information: www.foodandwinetrails.com/tablascreek2013 or call (800) 367-5348. We hope you will join us!
A brief note: the date of the cruise was originally July 3-11, 2013, but the cruise line chartered that entire ship to a private corporation and bumped all existing groups, including ours, off the itinerary. Anyone who had reserved on that itinerary has been contacted and offered compensation in various ways, including upgraded cabins on the new itinerary. If you have any questions, please contact us at 805.237.1231.

In May, we're featuring our 2011 Cotes de Tablas Blanc at a 10% discount. In 2011, our Viognier crop was cut by 80% due to spring frost, leaving a tiny, intense yield of less than one-half a ton per acre.
