Harvest Updates
A remarkably moderate summer has created excellent growing conditions, and the vineyard is looking its best ever! Fewer heat spikes has meant fewer days the plants have “shut down” down from excessive heat, and this may result in some varietals coming in a little earlier than normal.
We harvested Sauvignon Blanc on the evening of September 1st - Labor Day.
The reds are coming along - we are testing weekly - possibly harvesting Zin next week!

The History
April 19, 1775 - now celebrated as Patriots' Day - was the beginning of the Revolutionary War. That momentous day began with Paul Revere’s midnight ride, was ignited by British troops killing 8 and wounding 10 at Lexington (“Don’t fire unless fired upon...but if they mean to have war, let it begin here”), and exploded at Concord’s North Bridge where Americans finally returned fire with the “Shot heard ‘round the world”.
