Ordering Food at Sauer Grapes

Sauer Grapes is first and foremost a wine shop. I do offer a simple menu of breads, spreads, nuts and unique cheeses but I ask that if you would like your food served in a timely manner, please order ahead of time. This is especially true when there are events taking place at nearby venues. I do my best, but for the most part, I’m a one person operation and it can take me a while to prepare even simple menu items when the shop is busy. So please, help me serve you in a timely manner and email ahead at mariedsauer@gmail.com, let me know how many are in your party and what you would like to order. I hate disappointing my customers and this is the easiest way to make sure everyone is happy with their service! — Marie

Tasting Cancellations

If you have registered but are unable to attend a wine tasting, please notify us ASAP and your cost for the tasting will be refunded. But when food (beyond simple cheese and bread) is included with a wine tasting, cancellations within 48 hours of the tasting will incur a charge to cover the food cost. — Marie
BIO: NATALI SCHLOTTIG, C.S.W.

Dreyfus Ashby Regional Sales Manager

GA, NC, SC, WV

Natali Schlottig, C.S.W. attended Marshall University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  While working as a critical care nurse at MUSC and Trident Hospitals in Charleston, SC, Natali often assisted with events in the Carolinas promoting her family’s winery in Napa Valley.  In 2004, Natali retired her stethoscope and scrubs after falling in love with the wine business.  

Natali started in the wine distribution business with Grapevine Distributors representing small, family owned wineries in the Carolinas.  After six years with Grapevine Distributors, Natali spent the next five years with Fine Wine Trading Company as the Western North Carolina and Triad sales manager. After a brief move to Germany and the birth of her child, Kellen, Natali returned to work with Grapevine Distributors.  

It was at Grapevine Distributors 20 years ago, that Natali met the Drouhin family and became enamored with their wines.  In February 2019, Natali became the Regional Sales Manager for Dreyfus, Ashby & Co, which is the import company owned by the Joseph Drouhin family.  Dreyfus Ashby represents family-owned wineries from around the world.   Natali covers Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia for Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

Will Hoppes Bio

 I spent my summers growing up working the bottling line, racking, and blending and taking time off of school in the Fall to help out with harvest.  Some of my earliest memories are riding around in the vineyards around Tri-Cities with my dad and our black lab, Buster. I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time being one of the few kids who got to grow up in the Washington wine industry.

In the Spring of 2016 I quit my desk job to become a winemaker (I think I promised to never say those words during a particularly hot Summer while I was a teenager working the bottling line).  My interest in wine and the pull of working at the winery alongside my dad was getting too strong.  The timing couldn’t be better heading back to Red Mountain for Fidélitas’ 20th vintage to start my apprenticeship.  I’m excited to see where we take Fidélitas and Red Mountain into the next two decades and beyond.

Friday, March 29th, 5 to 6:30 pm
RSVP by Monday, March 25th
