This morning in the pre-dawn hour, I heard the first rumblings of wind machines in Napa, a sure sign that the tender new buds are emerging from the dormant vines, and a new growing season is underway.  Welcome vintage 2009!

Hello again from New Zealand!

As we finish week five of our harvest in Marlborough, we are still working 24 hours a day. But, the crew is looking pretty "flash", there's no pressure from weather and all is flowing smoothly in the winery. No one is stressed.

Hello from New Zealand!

Initially, we were somewhat concerned about rain, but the weather has turned out great. As expected, we are going 24/7 with harvest and once we get things moving, it all happens fast. It's a "Sauv-alance!"
