CLOSED FOR ORDERS 3/18-3/22

Dear Friends, the winery will not be processing wine orders during Clean Week, the first week of Great Lent for Orthodox Christians. This year, Clean Week is Monday, March 18 - Friday, March 22. You may still place orders on the website, but we will not process any orders or respond to non-urgent matters until Friday afternoon at the earliest. Thank you for your understanding! We wish everyone a most fruitful entrance into the Lenten season.

I used to collect wine, much of it from top Napa wineries. I can taste the high quality Malbec behind that soft dose of sweetness. Everyone is used to cloying, featureless sweetness in their Kagor. Your wine has depth — I would drink it even if it weren’t chalice wine :-). It even makes me wonder what it tastes like with chocolate, because it reminds me a bit of Banyuls in its tannic sweetness. But I’m most happy about how happy it makes everyone at trapeza!! - Tikhon, 2020
I still have a case in reserve but I did forward your email to priest friends of mine with my highest recommendations. - Fr. Sebastian, Los Gatos, CA

I want to thank you for fulfilling this necessary ministry of producing canonically approved chalice wine. I do have some experience with your product, and I really appreciated its quality. - Fr. John, St. John the Wonderworker Serbian Orthodox Church, OR
The best chalice wine produced in North America, from Orthodox monastics faithfully maintaining the quality standard set by the Russian Orthodox Church over a century ago. - Fr. Anthony, All Saints of North America Orthodox Church, MO
...Quite apart from its liturgical use, this wine is extremely pleasurable for personal use as well! - Metropolitan Kallistos Ware of Diokletia
This is an authentic, artisanal Communion wine, not fortified, made by monastics in the Orthodox tradition. - Petrus non Papa, 2020
I have been taking 3-5 bottles of the monastery wine on trips to Russia ..... the priest recipients have told everyone about the wonderful gift....if only the monastery shipped to Russia! There would be many orders. - Elena, 2020
