It’s been pretty quiet around the winery the past few
months, the tasting room is shut down, gift items off the shelves, tanks of
wine empty since fermentation ended a month or so ago. It kind of seems like a
ghost town around here with the exception of random stray dogs showing up and
the sporadic noise of saws and hammers. The dogs aren’t their usual happy
selves, I keep telling them spring is just around the corner and the place will
be swarming with happy faces and friendly people. In the mean time, we’re
keeping ourselves busy with projects around the compound –Matt and Pat are
building a storage shed for the tractors and tools and are getting ready to
convert some unused space for additional wine making which is pretty exciting.
And I’m here in the office working on creating some new signature winery events
for this year as well, here’s a sneak peek of just a couple: “Farmer Tan Saturday” a hands-on
vineyard/viticulture experience with the brothers, June 23rd and “Winemaker’s Brunch” with Matt and Pat hosting
and chefing it up, looks to be mid June.
Check out the brothers in action (with the help of their friend Loche):
