It’s a sad year. Unfortunately I had to sell my home due to health reasons. There won’t be anymore posts from me. I hope the new owners will keep up the vineyard and make great wine.

Happy New Year! This years harvest went well. All the wines are aging well and will continue to develop into great wines. There is about 120 gallons aging currently. 2021, 2022 and 2023! Come February we will dormant pruning the vines for our 2024 vintage. May 2024 bring health, prosperity and joy! And more grapes!

This is considered a full house. I still need to fit 8 more gallons to age somewhere that’s finishing up fermentation. All of the 2020 have been bottled to make room.

This is how it’s done My 4th year in this experimental wine that has been surprisingly successful that I increased production. Definitely one of the best wines I have produced. It took 50% of my Vineyard this time.

2023 Harvest in the books! Over 1,000 pounds of grapes. 1/2 of the vineyard is dedicated to the Appassimento wine. My mentor in Montreal , Canada wants me to publish a paper on this. Hmmm? Once the Appassimento is done, I will make Ripasso wine using the traditional methods from Italy.

2023 harvest is coming soon I’m planning for the weekend of September 22nd as 80% of the grapes are exactly where I want them to be! 1/2 of the harvest will be dedicated to my Appassimento which has been the success of my vineyard. Exceptional wine that started four years ago as an experiment is now a staple for my production A successful secondary run will utilize these fermented skins into my new product I’ve been doing as of last year. Very complex wine to say the least. Some of these wines or existing wines will be dedicated to my Son’s wedding next year. Cheers!

An update on the growth of the vineyard. Grapes are doing well and variation should happen in two weeks. Bee netting will be installed mid August. Last years harvest boasted 1,100 pounds of grapes. The raspberries I’ve picked around 70 pounds and have sold 75% of them at $8/pound, organic. Still have 20 pounds left. Anyone interested in helping out on the harvest, I’m looking at September 30 and October 1st.
