Winemaker’s Notes
Itroducing The Curveball — a new, unique and extremely small-lot label series from Dusted Valley. Formerly known as the Barrel Thief Series, this new name just felt right. The Curveball is dedicated to Americana, with a tribute to Cindy and Janet’s wonderful father — his deep love for family, his home state of Wisconsin, time spent fishing, and of course, the great game of baseball. These wines are
one-of-a-kind releases: here for a good inning but never guaranteed to come back around. So pour a glass, keep your sense of humor, and take a swing at whatever curveballs life throws your way. As it turns out, this is the littlest BIG wine we could make – dark, structured, and unapologetic. Enjoy this ‘itty bitty’ delight paired with grilled meats or on its own for a mouthful of pure deliciousness!
