Dear %%FIRST%%,
Congratulations on your status as a 2013 member of the GEMS OF THE NAPA VALLEY! This is Ladera’s way of saying thank you for being one of our top customers of 2012. For those of you who are not yet familiar with the program...we would like to extend to you additional benefits beyond our own winery, by offering reciprocal rewards at other very special, family-owned wineries who we are close with (a value of about $1200).
As a member of this elite group, you will be able to enjoy your complimentary tastings for you and up to three guests during the 2013 calendar year at the following nine family-owned wineries from around the Napa Valley:

All of these tastings are seated, and require reservations in advance. Please call the wineries and make an appointment to take advantage of this wonderful experience. We are giving you a special membership access code which you may need to help identify you as a Gems Member. Your access code is: LD213. Please save this email so you can refer to your access code in the future.
In addition, we have some fantastic GEMS tastings and events lined up this year that may fit well with your travel schedule! So, save the date for the following GEMS tastings, where you can taste approximately 25 different wines, many of which are available only in small quantities:
| Feb. 1 |
GEMS tasting at Ferrari San Francisco, Mill Valley, from 6–8pm. Enjoy a selection of wines from each of the nine GEMS wineries and nibble on delicious bites from Piatti Ristorante. $35 per person. Space is limited.

In the meantime, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about GEMS, as well as help you plan any details of your next trip to the Napa Valley. I can be reached at 707-965-2445, during the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. California time, or natalie@laderavineyards.com.
We are confident that getting to know some of our neighbors and experience their wines will be a real pleasure for you!
Cheers,
