Today was a very good day as is every day here in wine country. July sweeps us up in a steady heat to move our vines along to that beautiful harvest. Grape clusters are almost at full growth as veraison is soon to be. The ripening of sugar development and that magnificent color change days to a week or two away now.
Stay strong, healthy and vibrant as these spectacular vineyards. This season let's all celebrate together with much more love, peace and understanding. Looking forward to seeing ya's again soon! Until then...It's a beautiful day...Cheers! 🍷🍇🌞

Lol...Well it's been said that the rains were so heavy that...It was raining 'Cats & Dogs'! This afternoon no cats...However...My two compadres Kasey Girl & Leo Boy enjoyed the rain and vineyard romp.
Happiness can be two doggies living in the moment while throwing in a bit of mud and puddles. Life can be so simple with the very good things such as this. Spring is around the bend especially out here on the 'Wine Road'. Wishing everyone good weather days and peace for the world. Until next time...Cheers! 🍷🍇✌️

... And it's February 2024 ... Mustard topcover in full bloom ... Atmospheric river passed through our Sonoma County wine country refilling reservoirs and aquifers ... A few low lying areas flooded with trees fallen and landslides sporadically strewn across the landscape. Through all of this varying weather ... The sheer beauty of California and this region shines like a perpetual mural of color ... Inevitable change the one constant of continuous renewal ... Magic upon us. Never taken for granted.
Leo Boy the three legged wonder dog and Kasey Girl enjoying the great outdoors and running free. Happy doggies!
Wishing you and yours a great, happy and healthy 2024. I look forward to seeing as many of my friends and family throughout the seasons. Peace! 🍷🍇🌞✌️🎶❤️

The realization that of all the places on this Big Blue Marble that I have had the great pleasure to have resided...From the US Virgin Islands to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado ... The allure of those crystal clear waters surrounded by a framing of Sierra Nevada Lake Tahoe to now...Sonoma County wine country with her Redwoods, Wild Coastline and of course Lush & Magical Vineyards...The adventures of a small business owner meeting such a diverse group of clients, winemakers, farmers along with so many interesting people...Friends...The journey continues.
To mention that I am beyond grateful first of all to still be above ground...Magnificent. I hope this finds everyone well, happy and pursuing those adventures. Life is no rehearsal. Stay strong! Peace! 🏆🍇🌞❤✌🎶

We've got plenty of rain! Looking at boats now for wine tours. Reservoirs, aquifers brimming with rivers and streams raging as we could use a bit of drying out along with sunshine.

Happy New Year and welcome 2023! As 2022 exits our journeys let their be the optimistic promises of a new year leading us forward.
Much needed rain now has us under it's spell with all of her might. We so very much needed rain, however, just not all at once. Our parched vineyards actually have water pooling among the vines. Seasonal streams only weeks ago were dried up and parched now raging torrents. As vineyard retention ponds fill to their peak the Russian River begins to overflow banks. The old lady gray Pacific Ocean is roaring with high rolling waves and tides. Quite the sight to witness. Wild and beautiful!
With this new year I hope that everyone stays strong, healthy and happy. Keep chasing those dreams as time is short. I've lost many a friend in 2022 gone to hopefully greener pastures for eternity. The blink of an eye and we lose so many close to us.
Wishing peace for this sometimes crazy yet beautiful world. Be well! I hope to see you again sometime soon...Until then...🍷❤✌

Harvest 2022 underway now here in wine country. Early season fruit looking absolutely beautiful. Currently a veil of smoke hovers over our vineyard's due to several fires around the state. Later grape harvest is going to be interesting with this smoke filled air?
Always such a beautiful observation of how the majestic grape makes her way through another season. Like the world around us the harsh realities of drought and heat make for a real life struggle. Resilience and perseverance takes hold as we continue to grow and move forward.
Mother Nature's grip remains strong and the same as hopefully you do too. Stay strong and healthy my friends. 2022 may be a challenge, however, we accept that while looking forward for the future. Peace for Ukraine 🇺🇦! Much love! Cheers! JT🍷🍇🌞❤👏
