What's March been like in the vineyard so far? It's a swamp! We'd hoped to re-open for the season in mid April, but there's just too much wet out there. We're holding off our big season opener until Saturday, April 24.
The grapes love 2010 so far - lots of snow and moisture followed by an early thaw. Unfortunately, we weren't able to enter a couple wine tasting contests this February because the temps were too cold to risk it. Our wines can stand toe-to-toe with any warm-climate wine, but not if our bottle gets a bad case of freezer burn on the road to the judge's palate.
We might not enter as many contests this year, but that doesn't mean we can't match last year's medal count. We've got another great vintage coming up. Come visit the vineyard this April and give them a try!
