December 29, 2017 As this week comes to an end and the new year begins on Monday I like to reflect on the months gone by. I know there are many things I will forget but I can start here. Last January 7th we had a beautiful wedding out here, we also had 8″of snow the night before. Our farm looked beautiful as did the bride in a photo in the snow.

October 27, 2017 As Paige and I sit here now we have had an unusually busy day for a weekday. Where has October gone? Waiting on our first frost, they say this weekend…bring the plants inside. Just as the grapes have left the vine and the cycle for this year is at a rest, until we start pruning, we too begin our new cycle of research and grapes and wines we love, this time in Bordeaux. Someone is not quite sure about this preparation time, she may need a visit… Read More
