A great way to pick up some wines very inexpensive is to attend bottle and cork events. Here’s a few wineries that hold such events.
1. La Nebbia Winery Bottle & Cork
You bring it… We’ll fill it!
What is a Bottle and Cork Day? Early in our history of fine winemaking, our customers would drop by the winery with empty jugs, fill them, and take them home to share with family and friends. You can relive this part of our wineries past and receive a premium wine at a great price – recycling and re-using your clean empty wine bottles!

Cork Equity Day #27
Saturday • February 20th, 2010• 10am – 3pm
BOTTLE YOUR OWN RED WINE
CORK EQUITY:
A method of saving big money and having lots of fun by getting hands-on involvement assisting in the bottling, corking, and labeling of your own premium wine. Like sweat equity – but with no sweat.
Early in our history as a winemaking family, some customers would drop by the winery with their empty jugs. Our Grandparents, Emilio and Emilia Guglielmo, would entertain them with stories, wine, and often Italian songs played on an accordion, while filling their jugs. We invite you to relive this part of our past for this special “Bottle-Your-Own” event circa 2009.
Over 6,000 wine lovers have turned up at the cellar door on our Cork Equity Days looking for a great bottle of wine at a great price. Few have been disappointed! Don’t miss your chance to meet friends, have some fun, hear some great Italian music, enjoy complimentary bread & cheese —and get some very tasty wine in the bargain! Plus!! Live Italian accordion music!!
Cork Equity Blend #26
Cork Equity #26 consisted of 2006 Santa Clara Valley Merlot (33%), 2007 Syrah from Lodi (19%), 2007 Syrah from Penn Valley (19%), and 2007 Santa Clara Valley Petite Sirah (14%). Rounding out the blend is mixed reds (15%) including Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah, all from Guglielmo Private Reserve stock. Nicely balanced and complex in flavor, the Merlot & Syrah contribute greatly to this wine’s full-bodied character.
We feel our Cork Equity #26 displays richness and finesse not usually associated with wines of this price.
EARN SOME SUSTENANCE!
Each person who purchases and bottles at least one case of “Cork Equity wine” will be rewarded with one complimentary “Unlimited Access Pass” to our Chef’s Table – featuring fresh-grilled Italian Sausage and other delectable goodies. After all, you’ve earned it!
Additional Chef’s Table passes are $5 each.
For the Cork Equity event, we have resurrected our Cavalcade label – first used by our grandfather and father to denote selected barrels of wines that had received additional aging and were considered a cut above the regular bottling of Emile’s Private Stock wines. Called Cavalcade Cellar Red, this special wine will only be available at the event.
