Kicking Off The Holiday Season With Sales And New Releases!

Wow, what a harvest season! Our typical harvest lasts about 8 weeks and this year, due to the weather, we were compressed down to 4 weeks. It’s made for a crazy time around the winery, most of it playing Tetris, making sure we have enough room for fermentation bins and new barrels, or stopping by for early morning and late night punch downs. If you weren’t able to make it to the winery during crush season, don’t worry, we’ll still be pressing in the parking lot for the early part of November. During press we actually get a chance to taste the very young wine before it goes into barrels for secondary fermentation. We love showing people the process and would love to see you at the winery this November.

November’s Wednesday $5 glass pour is our gold Medal Winning 2016 Merlot. $5 every Wednesday in November.
