GAN EDEN closes

Howdy. This post should not be considered spam, but rather a 1 time announcement. I've decided to close, and to liquidate my inventory to anyone who wishes to buy wine at a really excellent price. Northern California is becoming less and less desirable for my family as the difficulty in providing a Jewish education for my children seems to be increasing exponentially each year. The only solution seems to be to leave this geographic region for parts more conducive to our needs. Obviously, this requires us to sell our winery facility, upon which is my home. Because of the cost of wine storage, it becomes desirable to liquidate the inventory before the change in ownership. Since the wine is kosher, and since Purim and Passover are coming up soon, this presents a buying opportunity for parties interested in getting a good wine suitable for their needs at a great price. Although we have prices posted on our web site, no reasonable offer will be refused. The only wine in tight supply for which we will not consider offers is the Late Harvest Gewurztraminer.

Thanks, Craig Winchell GAN EDEN Wines

Craig, I am sorry to read about your closing. I know that you have been very informative in the past about your wines and their special place. I hope that all goes well for you and that you get a good price for your facility and home. It does not sound like this has been an esay decision but quality of life is important. My best to you and your family stay in touch with the group.

Indeed, let me join jcoulter in saying I'm sorry to read re your closing. I hope you keep participating here. I remember a Jewish winegeek friend once saying of your Cabernet "this isn't just 'good kosher wine', this is flatout good wine that is kosher." The only Gan Eden wine I had was an excellent dessert style one. Hopefully you can sell all of your inventory!

Craig, I am disappointed to hear of this decision, but of course wish you all the best in your relocation. Sadly, I had hoped to visit Gan Eden during my sabbatical here in CA. When will you close your doors to visitors?

Sorry to hear of your closing--it seems more and more there are now two distinct classes of wine. The one Parker comments on and then all the rest.Especially for kosher wines, unless you are in the 1st category, many wine-geeks will not be attracted to your wines unless the price is ultra-competitive. These people have bugged me for years on how they can get kosher Bordeaux in a good year for their Passover seder.

Unless a kosher wines scores over 90 with Parker they could care less. I'm amazed you've hung on for this long.

I know the wholesalers I've talked to about your wine have shown a complete lack of imagination.

Good luck in what ever you do next.

If the pending sale goes through, title changes June 1, and I must be out by then. If something interferes, I'm back to the drawing board. I'll stay open to special visitors as long as possible, at least to enjoy a good bottle and a rousing discussion.
