☀️ The Arizona sunshine is calling—and this time, we’re answering.

We have ONE open weekend left: October 17–18!

We’re heading south to live a little of the retirement life we’ve been talking about. We’ll be back in May, but your w**e rack shouldn’t have to wait that long.

Stop by Gougér Cellars this weekend to stock up for winter dinners, holiday gatherings, and those evenings when opening a good bottle is the whole plan.

One last weekend to visit before our winter break!

🍷 Your future holiday host would like a word.

Thanksgiving dinner. Holiday parties. Host gifts. That person who’s impossible to shop for but very easy to pour for.

A little planning now means having the right bottle ready later—and we’re giving you two more weekends to get prepared!

Visit Gougér Cellars October 10–11 or 17–18 and stock up before we head south for the winter. After October 18, our next opening won’t be until May. Take advantage of our Farewell Series case pricing: 1–4 cases at $25 per bottle, 5–9 cases at $20 per bottle, and 10 or more cases at $15 per bottle (Epilogue excluded).

Consider this the enjoyable part of your holiday shopping.

🌭 Gary’s bringing New York to Ridgefield this weekend!

We’ll have Zweigel’s sausages from New York for just $5 each, alongside our famous Reubens. Apparently, getting ready for retirement involves importing lunch.

Join us Saturday and Sunday, October 10–11, for good food, w**e, and a chance to stock up before our winter break. Farewell Series case pricing: 1–4 cases at $25 per bottle, 5–9 cases at $20 per bottle, and 10 or more cases at $15 per bottle (Epilogue excluded)

Can’t make it? October 17–18 is your last chance until May.

Come hungry. Leave with your holiday w**e shopping handled. 🍷

🍷 Our Farewell Series was a blast—and we’re not quite finished!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for stories, interesting w**es, and a little of Gary’s favorite subject: w**e science.

We’re opening October 10–11 and 17–18 before heading to Arizona for the winter. The building hasn’t sold yet, but we’ve decided our retirement dreams can’t wait forever!

These are our final two open weekends until May. Come see us, pick out your favorites, and stock up for the months ahead.

📦🍷 WHAT’S STILL HIDING IN THOSE BOXES?
One of the most fun parts of our Farewell Series has been that even Gary doesn’t always remember what’s in the cellar. 😂

We’ve opened bottles that haven’t seen daylight in decades, tasted w**es we’ll never be able to taste again, and discovered a few surprises along the way.
For Part Three, we’re moving into the years when all that experimenting and hard work began paying off—with award winners, customer favorites and w**es that made their mark on Gouger Cellars.

What exactly will we open?

Well...Gary is still digging. 😂🍷

PART THREE: THE FRUITS OF HIS LABOR
📅 Sunday, September 27 at 2 PM
🍷 Special tasting & cellar tour
🍷 Limited to 25 guests

🍷 SOME WINES YOU ONLY GET TO TASTE ONCE.

That became very real during the first Gouger Cellars Farewell Series.

When Gary pulled out bottles from his early w**emaking years, a few were literally the last bottle in the cellar.

Once we opened them, that was it.

This weekend, we get to do it all over again.

Farewell Series Part Two takes us into Gary’s earlier years as his w**emaking evolved, awards started accumulating and the w**es that would eventually define Gouger Cellars began taking shape.

🍷 Old and unexpected w**es
🏆 Early award winners
🧪 A little w**emaking science
😂 Probably a few stories Gary has forgotten to tell us
📦 And whatever else happens to be hiding in those boxes...

📅 September 12 & 13 at 2 PM

Only 25 seats per session.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is the time. These bottles—and these Farewell Series weekends—won’t come around again.
