WildAire Summer - Blending, Bottling and Fun! |
Dear Robert Summer is here, we even have a little sun to prove it. Great news! We are ready to release our 2009 Pinot Noir Reserve. It has all of the candied cherry fruit from Clay Court vineyard combined with the spice and dark fruits of Shea Vineyard and the pretty BIng Cherry notes from Zenith Vineyard. It's a dandy. We will throw a little party to celebrate its release, maybe at the end of July, just to have a party! June and July are my favorite months at the winery. The 2010 wines, still in barrel, are starting to perk up and show their stuff. We are working on the blends for our 2010 vintage. This is difficult work, tasting new wines morning, noon and night. It can actually be a bit grueling on the palate, but I think Matt and I are up for the job. Bottling will be August 25th. We've got Castille's mobile bottling truck coming out to the winery in Dallas for about half a day of working on the assembly line. Let me know if you are interested in helping with this endeaver. We're excited to be part of Walk in the Park this year. This is my absolute favorite outdoor wine festival. Wineries are selected to participate who have a facility within the Yamhill-Carlton district AVA for this event. Special thanks go to Ken Wright Cellars who sponsors and manages the event. This event has everything, food cooked by amazing local restaurants, local art and artists, a classic car show and fun music into the evenings and about 40 participating wineries. Our wine shop is now open Daily from 12-5pm. Please stop by for a taste and to say hello! |
