Two Shepherds

09/24/2026

Today was carbonic carignan day - this has now also evolved (devolved?) into “mustache day” - of which Randy wins the prize again this year.
This one of our more intense harvest days as we hand bucket out 4 to 5 tons of un macerated Grapes. Sealed in tank for 20 days, to make the popular wiley carbonic Carignan and The Bucking Luna. Was also the final press load for Two Shepherds - done before October, that’s a little Cray Cray.

Not pictured is our much missed Tessa Holmes - she was nice enough to come help us this morning and get dirty before she went to work. No mustache.

It’s days like today that remind me, both that it takes a village, and how fortunate I am to have these people in my life and the Winery. Your support also helps fund them so thank you very much!! ❤️🍇🥸

After 17 harvests I dont always get giddy about processing grapes - but today I did - one ton (was entire yield) of Savignan, a Jura white varietal with only a few plantings in CA.
unfortunately, I forgot to take any more pictures 🤣🍇 . Can’t wait to share this in a year or two!
