In this space I am going to try my best to send out short messages and hear back from you too. I will report on winery activities, some of the journeys we take and every now and then a little commentary will show up. I believe very strongly in producing good wine that can be enjoyed without pretention by everyone. I bought some of my first wine making equipment at a shop in Berkeley called Wine and The People. A very Berkeley name but I think it sums up my idea that wine belongs to all of us. Stay tuned and let me know what you are thinking.
View From the Barrel Rack
Almost all the grapes are now in the winery and the excitement of my last message is turning to a slight case of fatigue. The hard work is paying off, the Malbec and Tempranillo fermentations are done and the wine is safely in barrels and that is my new source of excitement. Never will a harvest go by that isn’t declared the “best ever” (just our optimistic nature I suppose) but the fruit we have this year looks like the “best ever”. I will keep you posted as we care for this wine and prepare it for your glass.
As the harvest and crush continues I am constantly aware of the debt we owe our Jefe de Bodega Santos del Toro. Here he is and if you see him around don’t forget to give him a big gracias.
