The 2009 Vintage

A wild year in terms of weather starting in the spring, with late snow in the vineyards, during the summer the vines were trying to catch up for the late start, and then a wild harvest with a major freeze hitting very early in October.  We managed to escape without losing any grapes, but it made for an interesting and challenging fermentation period.  We ended up with some terrific wines and time will tell just how well they show.  Another year behind us and it’s time to say a huge Thank You to each and every one of our incredible volunteers.  I’ve said this before but we simply couldn’t do this without all of you - Mike & Kristin, David O. & Dave P.; Jen & Selso; Dawn D.; Debbie P.; Garry & friends; Trisha & Pat; Richard, Judy & Jayne; Diana V. & Karin R.  Seriously, thanks.  :-)
