It's been a while, but I finally did a tasting with other winemakers for my friend Paul Vigna (formerly of Patriot-News/Pennlive.) We shared our 2023 Cadenza and Forza. Here's the article...

The 10th summit, this one bringing together winemakers from seven East Coast states, was held at Black Ankle Vineyards on Tuesday.

We see a lot more than just grapevines when we're out in our vineyards. We don't always capture them all, but here are a few visitors we've run into. Oh ... and the tall guy checking out the vines is Winemaker Carl Helrich.

Some long winded thoughts on the frost.

Yesterday morning was historic for Cadenza for all the wrong reasons. We suffered the first frost event at our vineyard in 50 years. It's too soon to tell the full extent of the damage, but yields at Cadenza and most of the East coast wine community will be hugely impacted.

Overnight temperatures dropped into the mid-20s from New York down to Virginia. What it means for a lot of wineries is far less fruit to harvest this fall.
