Now that we got doused with Holy Water and the grapes blessed by Father John at the great Harvest Party at the winery, we are moving full steam ahead, but harvest is running a little late.

In our last newsletter, we expressed our hopes for a nice wet winter. Well, we had one day with six inches of rain, and a couple of weeks later, one day with five inches, which made conditions challenging.

Most of our crew have been with us for more than 20 years. We are so fortunate to have a loyal and dedicated workforce in these times.

April showers bring May flowers. In the vineyard, April means bud break and a chance of frost.
