Some left over Nebbiolo vines from the block I replaced. They would always bud out too early for Elgin and would be whacked by the usual April frosts. They are surrounded by graciano which are later bidding. This winter was record warm and everything is out early.

Happy post thanksgiving. It’s that time of year to catch up on the vineyard. The boys are pulling out some old dead vines while Donna is pouring it up in the tasting room.

From HEALTH:
Wine vs. Other Alcoholic Drinks
Compared to spirits like vodka or whiskey, wine and beer generally offer more anti-inflammatory benefits. They contain plant compounds called phenols, which act as antioxidants and help protect cells from damage.1

Red wine tends to have higher levels of antioxidants, especially resveratrol, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and heart-protective effects.1

Potential benefits of moderate wine intake include:2

Heart health: Supports healthy cholesterol levels and blood circulation
Gut health: Helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome
Lower inflammation: Provides antioxidants that help reduce inflammatory responses
