Press Release
SANTA CRUZ, CA - In an effort to promote wines produced in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Capitola's landmark Shadowbrook Restaurant is offering Winemaker Wednesdays, featuring half-price wines from the appellation now through May.
Each week Shadowbrook will be featuring two to four wines from a Santa Cruz Mountains winery, offered by the bottle or glass. Wednesdays, beginning at 5p.m. a representative of that week's winery will offer tastings and information from a table set up in the restaurant's Rockroom Lounge.
That night all wines from the week's winery, whether ordered in the bar or dining room, by the glass or bottle, will be 50 percent off the regular price. Featured wines will also be available in flights (about 2.5 oz, also half-price), accompanied by complimentary appetizer.

"This is a great way to promote the growing number of fine wines being
produced in the area," said Shadowbrook owner Ted Burke. "With 73
wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, it's impossible for
us to stock them all permanently. This promotion will give wineries
and winemakers an opportunity to reach a larger audience and gain new
followers, while providing Shadowbrook's patrons with quality local
wines, many of which are medal winners in state, national and
international competitions. I also believe locals will find it a
welcome alternative to the typical $125-per-person winemaker dinner."
The promotion is being done in concert with the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, and Burke said interest from wineries has been strong and enthusiastic. To ensure that customers get the best possible information, wineries are required to have their Wednesday table staffed by the owner, winemaker or an equally informed individual. They are also asked to provide informational materials so the Shadowbrook wait staff can be knowledgeable about the wines.
