Sonoma-Cutrer® Launches New Interactive Brand Website

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonoma-Cutrer® announces the launch of its new brand website that reflects the uncompromising commitment and dedication to growing and crafting its wines, particularly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The beauty and hospitality of the Sonoma County winery and its award-winning wines are featured throughout the website in photographs, videos and behind-the-scenes access to winemakers and culinary leaders.

Designed to provide an interactive and unique visitor experience, Sonoma-Cutrer offers entertaining ideas, party themes, decorating tips, tasting notes and pairings that come from winemakers, chefs and culinary leaders. Information is seasonal and refreshed continually so fans can look to the site as a resource for consistently relevant, interesting information. Consumers can be part of the action in a special section called Pairings where their original pairing ideas are featured. Holiday party concepts, how to host a wine tasting and tips for serving wine are currently displayed alongside cheese, appetizer and main course offerings.

"We are thrilled to offer our loyal fans a distinctive and hands-on digital experience," said Tracy Thornsberry, Sonoma-Cutrer Brand Manager. "Our winery is one-of-a-kind and we want people to feel as if the winery, its beauty and its people are at their fingertips even though they may physically be hundreds of miles away."

The site offers a newly renovated online store where wines can be purchased directly.[1] Each of the wines is described in detail with winemaker and tasting notes and multiple recipe pairings. With the visitor's experience at the forefront of design, the shopping cart and checkout were designed to provide a simple and seamless experience for the customer.

For those who are looking for special benefits and insider information, Sonoma-Cutrer has created The Cutrer Vineyard Club. Members receive access to limited offering wines, discounted rates off online purchases and free admission to exclusive events including VIP tours and tastings.  The Cutrer Vineyard Club experience has been enhanced so members can choose between four, six and 12 bottle shipments of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or a mix of both varietals.

Sonoma-Cutrer has been crafting wines since 1981 in the esteemed Russian River Valley growing region of Sonoma County, California. Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards utilizes unique cooling tunnels designed specifically to preserve the highest quality grapes, and the wines are aged in barrels made of specific French oak trees that are individually-selected to the winemakers' needs.
