Goal of America

"...may I say in conclusion that our goal is freedom and I believe that we're going to get there.   It's going to be more difficult from here on in but I believe we're going to get there because however much she strays away from it, the goal of America is freedom and our destiny is tied up with the destiny of America. Before the Pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth we were here. Before Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence we were here. Before the beautiful words of the Star Spangled Banner were written we were here..."

- from Speech given at Grosse Pointe High School, March 14, 1968

The website is in transition but the key is the state you're shipping to :

A Wonderful (and Lengthy!) Harvest

We picked half of the Sauvignon Blanc plants on Sunday August 25th ... and finished with the Cab on Halloween - most extended ever, thanks to gyrating temps!

Many vineyards reported lower yields (fewer tons per acre), attributed to a late frost and some heat spikes this summer.  We were pleased to have a bountiful crop for Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and Cab, normal yields in all others with the exception of Zin - which was a smaller crop than last year, but still great looking fruit!

For more pics, videos, and updates, please follow us on Insta, Facebook, and X/Twitter.

History Dates:
December 5th:  End of Prohibition Day
December 15th: Bill of Rights Day
December 16th: Boston Tea Party anniversary

 

Saúde !! (Portugues toast)
