So, friends, it’s been a while. Our hens are all grown, laying eggs and adding a special cackle to our days. Our rookie year is done, full of mistakes and victories. Now, we begin to prune and train our vineyard for our sophomore effort.

Scott began the pruning tasks today, under the watchful eye of our puppy, Digby. The second year of pruning is teaching us more about wise vineyard management. Each year is a new challenge and pressing us to stretch and learn as we strive to improve.

The first vintage is settling out and we are anxious to taste it. But, it’s too early to make any judgements about the effects of our flubs in the vineyard versus our positive outcomes. Maybe our wine dog will bring good luck for the 2020 season.

Cheers!
