Congratulations d'Arenburg!

One of our favorite winemakers, d'Arenberg, has scored three major successes recently! First, our friend and winemaker Chester Osborn has been nominated as Gourmet Traveler's 2008 Winemaker of the year. Second, Chester's father D'Arry's restaurant - Verandah - wins at the SA Restaurant and Catering Awards! If that weren't enough, James Holidays' 2009 Wine Companion rates d'Arenburg Winery at 5 Stars! Congratulations to Chester, D'Arry and the rest of the gang at d'Arenberg!

If you have not had the pleasure of trying the wines of d'Arenberg, we carry the lot. Stop in at Schneider's or visit our web site to peruse our selection of d'Arenberg wines.
