We had friends visiting from Tucson AZ yesterday, and we brought them
to your winery. We were in the barrel room visiting with Gerry Wilson
and shared Minnesota stories, as that is where we all originate from.
Gerry sold us and our AZ friends on becoming Wine Club members. We
signed up immediately... Gerry is such a smooth talker!!! We had a fun
time and look forward to taking part in a lot of the up-coming events.
Best to all of the Wilson Family... see you soon...

Hello, I want to thank Mr. Wilson for
making my friend David’s first visit
memorable. After wine tasting,
David and I were walking around the gift shop area, and we had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. Wilson. He
was very gracious and gladly took a
picture with us. As we drove home,
all David talked about was Mr.
Wilson’s wonderful hospitality. We
both look forward to our next visit.
I am proud to be a member of the
“Extended Family” Wine Club.

I just have to tell you that I found the first bottle of wine that I
purchased from you. It was a 2001 Reserve Syrah that JR told me to
buy. I had it last night and WOW, WOW, WOW! If you have any
hidden away, DRINK IT! It is one of the best wines you have ever
made. Thank you for your efforts in the wine business. Again, thank
you. Wilson Creek is the best!
(Editor’s Note: Here’s hoping that the bottle of Estate Syrah that’s
included in this month’s selection holds up as well as Jim’s bottle did,
if you can wait that long to open it!)
A Different Kind of “WINE THIEF”
A true story set to rhyme by Wine Club Manager, Lisa Cherry
As you might know there is a tool called a “wine thief” that is a glass siphon tube used to draw
small amounts of wine out of larger containers for tasting and testing. You might have seen us use it for
barrel tastes and the like. Well, recently winery visitor Leo Rizzi of the Ventura, California area told us
the saddest story about a different kind of wine thief...
A burglar crept into his house
He surveyed the place, quiet as a mouse
TVs and stereos all through the place
The prospect of “loot” brought a smile to his face!
Maybe he heard the slam of a door
Maybe he heard a step on the floor
He stopped in his tracks, whatever the cause.
He knew in his heart he was breaking some laws!
He looked to his left, he looked to his right
He scanned for the most valuable thing in his sight.
All of a sudden he espied a prize

Something quite special in front of his eyes!
What was this item, so temptingly there?
A prize worth the risk? Something costly
and rare?
A case of champagne from Wilson Creek
And what other valuable thing did he peek?
A case of our Zin, which won double-gold
A case which poor Leo had purchased to hold.
Two cases he grabbed leaving much in his haste
At least we can say that the thief had good taste.
