Hello Merlot. I Think I Love You.

Who could ever believe it is already July? Time seems to go so fast (especially when it is non-winter in Chicago). Since it is July 1st that means the new wines of the month are released! The wines for this month are Merlot (New Release Club and Reds & Breads), and the Governor’s Cup winner, Seyval Blanc (White Wine Club).




Aroma: Red garnet in color. Inviting aromas of vanilla, cloves, warm spices and traces of coconut.
Palate: This full-bodied Merlot has flavors of dried cherries and plum upon entry and finishes with a long and peppery finish.
Foods: Divine when enjoyed with full-flavored cheeses such as Cheddar or Gorgonzola. Try with grilled steaks, pork loin or mushrooms. Also delicious with hamburgers.

Aroma: Pale straw in color. Summery aromas of fresh peaches followed by notes of tropical fruit.

Does Your Palate Like an Adventure or the Sure Thing?

Hello Lyn-friends! I am so excited to be sharing our new ideas with you! For the past 30 years Lynfred Winery has continued to grow because of loyal patrons and fans. We are constantly looking for ways to improve upon your entire Lynfred experience.

In the recent past we created the Epicurean Experience and have offered educational classes to our club members. We have also realized that many non-members would like to experience some of these events as well. After a ton of planning we have created a 'menu' of winery experiences for you to enjoy starting July 1. Members will still receive special pricing but the events are now open to all of our guests. I look forward to sharing all of this with you in the very near future!
