Summer 2024

When life happens and you don't have time to check in, you keep on, keeping on.

Summer 2024 has been just that! 

 Our backyard BBQ happens the weekend after 4th of July. For us a celebration with our Wine Family.

Great food, wine, games and laughs. Family style of Mat's favorite BBQ foods including his famous baked beans that everyone doesn't want to love but does!!!

And my strawberry tiramisu.

    

Then we had rounds of family, visiting, going to visit and all while running the Tasting Room.

All the sweet treats lent for our hearts to be full and our bellies with food and laughter!

Not only did we have a bustling summer, we also had a hugely successful library tasting weekend and bottled the 2023 Pinot's.

The Library Tasting we offer once a year is an opportunity to taste and purchase. This  year we offered 8 Pinot's going back to 2014 through 2016. We had a blast doing our tasting notes, tasting again with multiple dinners and then sharing them with our people who so appreciated the opportunity!!!

Our library from these vintages is dwindling but we will also be offering our annual Library Case Special over the Holiday Season.

    

The last break away between summer and harvest we fit in some great treats. Timber Cove, a food and wine pairing at Fort Ross, a concert at Mountain Winery and a great dinner at Madcap in Marin.

    

 

Now that August is behind us and we are in harvest, life is busy with mother nature on our heals. The earliest harvest for TNT Pinot which came in Friday September 5th.

Seeds of the TNT grapes that Mat was checking on two days before we picked. This is how he checks for ripeness.

We also received a little local love from a Tasting Room neighbor with 60 vines of Pinot. They did a neighborhood pick and delivered 4 buckets of beautiful hyper local Pinot for us. 

       

  

Not only is our grape harvest on, our many wine family are also harvesting. Weather it's tomatoes, apples, pears. Oh my, it keeps us going.

Gazpacho which was recently delivered paired perfectly with our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc. We shared the recipe recently, check our web site.

Pears & apples, basil, chives....the bounty continues.

And now for the next few months, we live vicariously through all of you. Who share pictures and stories of your travels. Like this 'love note' from the Sierras where friends brought a little PMV love.

Next up, Fall Wine Club!
