The figures are nearly 15” tall and painted with richly layered colors. These figures mark a shift in scale and coloration for Willow Tree. The elegant movement of Mary’s and Joseph’s garments and their beautifully protective gestures bring this composition to the highest levels of sculptural art to adorn homes or churches.

 Cedar Creek Winery: Cedar Creek Winery is proud to introduce our Hillside Red, our first estate-grown red. We are very pleased that it turned out exactly the way we were hoping. Hillside Red is made of Foch grapes, grown near our vineyard by three close friends. The grapes are crushed, de-stemmed, fermented on the skins for 14 days and then pressed. During fermentation, all the tannins (red pigmentation) are extracted. The wine is now aging in our Cedar Creek cellar in Minnesota oak barrels. Hillside Red is a full-bodied, elegant red with fruit reminiscent of bing cherries and blueberries. We are looking forward to fermenting another vintage soon and we will do a preview barrel tasting at our annual Open House March 15th & 16th, 2008.
Cedar Creek Vidal is the grand jewel of Cedar Creek Winery wines…this fine wine of ours has been raking in the medals. A Double-Gold medal and 7 Gold Medals, 6 Silver and 4 Bronze in national and international competitions. Cedar Creek Vidal is custom grown in New York state, picked according to our parameters, these parameters (sugar, acid and pH) are adjusted every year based on the growing season. We are so proud of this wine. We hope you will stop in and try it in our tasting room and then take some home to enjoy. www.cedarcreekwinery.com 800-827-8020.
