Harvest Weather Impacted
Cool and rainy weather in the High Plains has slowed our Texas harvest. We did recieve Trebbiano and Riesling late late week. We are hoping for Sangiovese and Mourvedre next week. However, we had plenty of wine chores last week with the barreling of Dolcetto, Viognier, Abarino, and Sauvignon Blanc. We will be barrelling down Viognier this week as we wait on Sangiovese, Mourvedre and Aglianico to completely ripen.
California harvest will be light this year, especially with the drastic heat spike dehydrating grapes. Chardonnay came in on Monday. We expect Viognier by the end of the week and we may make the call to pull in Bertapelle Zinfandel early due to the heat situation.
Postponed due to cool and rainy weather impacting harvest!
Saturday and Sunday, October 1st & 2nd, 1:00 - 5:00 out back of the Tasting Room Building 2-B.
As noted above in the harvest update, harvest has been delayed due to weather issues in the High Plains. As a result we do not have any grapes to stomp just yet so we are moving out our stomp event for about a month. We are tentatively scheduling for the 1st weekend in October, but stayed tuned as we begin to get more information on the status of various grape varietals.
Join us for the squishing and stomping at the 5th Annual Harvest Grape Stomp!
- Squishing and stomping the grapes in a barrel or bin (just like on I Love Lucy)
- Recording your stomp by stepping on your tee shirt with your grape juice feet Go home with your commemorative foot-stained tee shirt.
- Plastic logo glass
- Barrel sampling of one varietal
