Vintage 2022 Update

Hello Friends,

**We will be closed for a private party from 12-2pm on Sunday, September 25th**

It is not uncommon to have a heat wave in September, but for eight days???... that is very uncommon. It is also not uncommon to have some showers during September, but an inch and a half of rain??.. strange. We, fortunately, have not experienced any detrimental effects from the weather. The grapes have all been in great shape. So far, we have harvested Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Grenache, and Pinot Noir. We have experienced very low yields, as with many other winemakers in the Valley. The low yields were due to the very windy and cold spring we experienced, so the grapes did not set very heavy. This is a blessing and a curse. A curse because we are making less wine, and that hits the bottom line, but a blessing because the concentration of flavors in these small yields has been exceptional.  So far, our harvest crew (Joey, Chris, and Tina) are killing it in the cellar, and still in good spirits despite these crazy first three weeks of Harvest. At the end of the day, we have to remember that we are farmers, our lives revolve around the weather, and there is always a Silver Lining.

Our TGIF wine this week is the 2020 Silver Linings Syrah, $30/bottle. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your next wine club.

We are officially in Autumn!
