Availability Update

After receiving the latest inventory sheet from our storage company I’ve update availability on the Wine tab.  Usually I do a pretty good job keeping up on things but a few items did get away from me.  I thought we would have enough of the 2008 Special Reserve Cab to do a Library Release in the future but it looks like we will not after all.  The 2007 Eaglepoint Syrah also got lower faster than I was expecting and I’ve now listed that as sold out.

There are also new notes for two wines that will be released in the Spring and are now being offered to our Futures club.  There are also new notes for the 2006 Uvas Creek Cab which will be a Spring Library release.  For fans of our secret ‘Sessen’ wine, that too is now sold out.

Harvest is Finally Done

We’ve had a couple of years where the last task of the year was on Thanksgiving weekend. Usually we had one small lot to get into barrel. This year our last task was yesterday. We had two lots to go into barrel which ended up being 40% of our 2011 production.

I’m actually really happy with the wine we’ve made so far. No problem lots like last years Pinot Noir and the Harvest Moon Cab, Peacock Cab Franc, Crimson Clover and Mourvedre lots I’m really liking so far.

Stefania and I have a lot of blogging and picture to catch up on. Now that we finally have some down time we’ll try and get those up over the next few weeks. Today we have a pig in the Caja China for Millie’s birthday and lots of great wine planned for tonight. It feels like an end of harvest party and I’m enjoying it!
