We have scheduled a release party! We have two dates; October 24th from 6 PM - 8 PM and October 25th from 2 PM - 5 PM. These times are tentative. This event is for wine club members and their guests. This party will take place at our special event site. More news: for this event wine club members will receive 30% off new releases instead of 20%. Can't make it to the event? You can purchase these wines online and in the tasting room for the additional discount October 18 - 31. Club members will be getting more information soon including the wines that will be released and on sale.
Crush is in full swing. We have some hard working guys burning the candle at both ends. Hours are long and things are sticky. The rain and cold are not making things easy for our growers. It is a gamble with the weather. The age old struggle with farming and mother nature!
The sun is shining and things are warm. The gray mornings are creeping in and we feel that another season has passed and another is here. The leaves are changing and cool days are here. Soon the trees will be sleeping for the winter which is exactly what I want to do with cold, dark days.
We wish you much hope as this Fall season is upon us!

Bottling behind us
Good news!!! Bottling did happen a couple of weeks ago. Of course it wasn't without a few glitches. The labels were running a few days late so we rescheduled for a day later. We got one day of bottling taken care of but the following morning Sweet Cheeks had no water. You can't bottle without water. It was like juggling for a few days. I have to say the finished product was worth the wait. We now have the Tempranillo Rose, Sweet Camille, and D'Vine Red ready to go! Our website is updated. I have pictures of bottling day and a few other things of interest but I have a computer situation now.
We have been getting some grapes in for crush. The weather is not really cooperating right now. The next dry patch we will probably get a large quantity of grapes. It is pretty exciting around this time. It is interesting to see where the wine starts and what it goes through on its journey.
Check back soon, hopefully I will have pictures up soon.
