Summer is generous with longer days, warmer weather, the chance to be out of doors, and more time with family and friends. We hope your Summer has moments that feel singular and sweet, where you are captivated by a good book or have the chance to catch up with old friends or find yourself on the beach or shore and time stands still, or enjoy the restorative quality of being in nature. And we hope that Hafner wine is a beneficial accompaniment. We’d love to see how you capture that special Summer moment! We have launched a photo competition that will run until September 6th. Check out the details and some fun examples!

They always bring us great joy.

Here at Hafner Vineyard, we are very fortunate to have a small, tight-knit, talented team. Many Bay Area patrons know Spencer as the man who makes their day brighter when he delivers cases directly to their homes. But everyone who receives Hafner wine knows Spencer’s impact: he packages every order and ships them to all across the country. He has been an integral part of our team for several years but now he is off on a new adventure in Kansas City, Missouri. We now welcome Matt! Patrons may recognize Matt as he has poured wine at our Barrel Tastings for many years. We are excited to have him onboard!

One of the most consistent questions patrons ask is, “What is the best way to open an older bottle of wine?” The question is prompted by concerns about an older cork and the possibility of it breaking or disintegrating during extraction. This can happen regardless of how well the wine has been stored or the quality of the cork. We recommend, and use ourselves, an “Ah-So” or “Butler’s Friend” which is a double prong wine opener. Here we share four steps for how to open an older bottle of wine.
