Foggy Morning View

There’s nothing like having your head in the clouds. These views don’t get old.

Grafted

We always enjoy grafting. It’s another example of how awesome life is. Take one plant, add the other, wrap them up, so they are in close contact and they grow together, giving each other life, and eventually giving us wine grapes.

Keeping It Clean

It’s hard work, but also satisfying working. Tending the the vines, and keeping the vineyard clean. When the vineyard looks this good, there’s no doubt that it’s been well taken care of.

Nets

We’re not the only ones in the know… that know what good fruit looks and tastes like. The birds are on it. In some of our vineyards. We net the fruiting area of the vines to keep the birds at bay, and the wine grapes in tact.

Field Views

We talk about the vineyard as the field. We’re farming. We’re farming grapes. Some of the vineyards we tend have other fields around them. It’s good to be in the field.

Wine Grape Update

Most of our vineyards are on the cusp of veraison - getting ready to be ready, so to speak. They’re looking good…

Suckering vines

As the vines grow, we continue to guide them towards the best growth - funneling their energy towards growth and premium grapes. We’ve been in the vineyards suckering the vines and removing shoots.

Early Morning Visitors

When you’re out and working at dawn, sometimes you get to see animals that usually aren’t out during the workday. This weekend, we saw these deer visiting the field.
