Grip It & Sip It

Kerr Cellars is a boutique winery

founded by Sommelier, and professional golf star, Cristie Kerr. Cristie is a 20-time LPGA champion and became the first American to reach #1 in the Official Rolex World Golf Rankings. Cristie fell in love with wine on a visit to Napa Valley in 2000 while competing in the Samsung World Championship. She was seduced by the tranquil hills, rustic old-world charm, and extraordinary ‘Old World’ wines. With her passion for wine ignited, Cristie began producing some of the world’s best and most highly rated wines, now available in limited quantities online. Our Napa Valley and Sonoma County wines are made in classic styles inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, yet they are Californian in their balance of finesse and opulence. We source our grapes from the finest vineyards throughout the valleys and obsess over every detail from the health of the vineyard soils to the grain structure of our oak barrels. We do this because it is our passion to craft extraordinary, terroir-focused wines. To celebrate the holiday season, we have curated a unique selection of wines for gifting and enjoying with friends and family. Please visit us at KerrCellars.com and use the code: GOLFCENTRAL21 for an exclusive discount to Golf Central readers. “Family is the most important thing in the world to me. I’m often so busy throughout the year. The holidays remind me to slow down and enjoy time with people I love. I crafted this trio with friends and family in mind. There’s something for everyone in this set and they pair perfectly with everything on your dinner table. You have enough on your plate during the holidays, let me help you with the wine selections!” Cristie Kerr

This package includes one of each wine below and shipping in the continental US.

2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Striking notes of vanilla bean, sage, Asian pear, crushed white stones, and pastry flour, with a fantastic weight. The palate opens up to citrus blossom, honey, almond, fresh fruit, and flowers, with a lovely minerality on the long finish. Great freshness, eureka lemon, vibrant acidity, and a nice length.

2018 Manzanita Vineyard Pinot Noir - 94 points

Boasting a perfumed nose of black and Bing cherries, orange oil, baking spices, white pepper, and just a hint of leather. The entry is incredibly silky and opens up to a seamless mouthfeel. Flavors of morello cherry, orange zest, sage, and cedar are prominent and persist through to a long finish. Drinking beautifully now.

2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 93 points

The effusive nose shows aromas of powdery white flowers, black cherry, cassis, flower stems, bittersweet chocolate, and crushed stones. On the palate, the silky entry opens to a plush, round, polished mid-palate and an effortlessly long finish. The back palate is fine-grained with exquisitely balanced alcohol-to-fruit weight and closes with subtle, cleansing acidity.

Grip it and Sip it.

Mission Accomplished!

In early November, Cypresswood Golf

and Country Club in Winter Haven, Florida, hosted a Patriots Day Folds of Honor golf tournament that was a rousing success.

Miss Winter Haven, Cassidy Goldman, sent the 33 teams out with a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. She was joined by a Boy Scout troupe that presented the colors. This 3rd year event is very close to the heart of Cypresswood Owner/Operator Bob Shade. « We always look forward to events that help the community and people love to play in a scramble format. This outing has grown to where we were able to raise the entry fee this year to help the Folds of Honor even more. Anything to help a military based organization is very rewarding and the whole effort is fulfilling to the players and the volunteers as well.»

The Golf Central Magazine team had a great time despite not being anywhere close to the winning score of 56,16 under par. But it was still a great day which was culminated by a wonderful buffet supplied by Colorado Boxed Beef and an awards ceremony.

The attitude by all was very positive as we all knew that Folds of Honor is a growing and very worthwhile organization. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit that helps to supply educational scholarships to families of Military men and women who have fallen or been disabled while serving their country.

Since its formation in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded 29,000 scholarships nationwide and Cypresswoood Director of Marketing and Social Media, Amy Fox announced that “with the help of local business sponsors, the players and the community volunteers, we are honored to send Folds of Honor a check for $7,500!”

Mission Accomplished!
