The landscape is quickly changing both in the vineyards and on the winery grounds. Tender shoots are pushing out at what seems like a rapid rate. It’s one of the prettiest times of years……green grass in the rows and green tips on the vines. The winery grounds are also starting to really shape up. Things are really starting to fill in and the flowers are starting to bloom. In fact, the iris along the driveway are just about to be in full bloom. This is really going to be quite a greeting to visitors for the next several weeks.
This year is already turning out to be a good competition season too. We have done a little less entering this year……saving the wine for you instead……but have still had some nice success. Here’s how it’s shaping up so far……
