The New Year

Well, the New Year has arrived. As you can see we have begun to use a different method by which to blog about the winery. The concept is this will help facilitate timlier postings. Time will tell.

Life on the winery is a little slow right now as the tasting room is closed expect for by appointment guests (feel free to make an appointment if you would like to visit this time of year). We spent December cleaning up from harvest, getting ready for the infamous Christmas Gala Extravaganza and generally eating entirely too much. Now that we are back at it we have been both been stuck inside getting all of the really fun year end stuff done.

Matt has been topping the 2008's as the ML tests come back. I do have to say the few lots he has let me taste have been very exciting. 2008 looks to be very good.

While procastinating on doing year financials I have also been putting together vineyard to do lists and planning for the fast approaching spring. The vineyard crew will be back in a month or so to start pruning so it will not be too long before it time to start farming again.

I wish everyone the best in 2009 and look forward to seeing you as the year unfolds.

Until, live well and drink well.
