September

Harvest has finally started. We had a bit of a scare last night with some frost issues. Grape vines do not like it when the temp drops below 30. So far it looks like minor foliage damage, but we will have to wait a few more hours to see the full effect of the frost. Our wine and dines went well this summer, and we thank everyone who participated. Harvest has been going well. we have picked all of the Brianna variety, along with 90% of our Marquette. The winery has been undergoing some changes as well.

Keep watching for more updates, and we hope to see you soon!

Wine and Dine

The wine and dine for this month will be on Thursday the 18th. We will be doing a steak night. Please call or e-mail for reservations. Thank you!

July 2011

Warm temperatures have finally arrived. We have been very busy in the vineyard this year. With the ample rainfall and high temps, the grapevines have been growing quite rapidly. The most time consuming work in the vineyard is tucking the vines into the trellising system. We have been working on this for the past couple weeks.

The wine and dine for this month is on the 14th. The theme will be Cuban night. Please call for reservations!!

Thanks again, and we hope to see you soon.

June 20th

Hi again. The spring season has been crazy with all of this rainy weather. The vineyard is doing fine, with lots of growth so far. Certain varieties have all ready reached the top of the trellis system. We have been out tucking and cutting off the suckers that are trying to grow from the ground. We have also replaced some earth anchors at the end of the rows. Karin is excited to be in her new tractor this season.

We are having a wine and dine on July 14th. There will be open seating from 6 to 8, so please call for reservations and information. The food served will be based upon a Cuban theme.

Thanks, and we hope to see you soon!

May 19th

Today we are getting more vineyard equipment ready. We finally have buds about to leaf, which means a green vineyard is coming soon. For now there is not a lot going on in the vineyard, but i fear that will change in a big hurry! Our first two weekends open have been fun. We have been able to chat with some customers that we have not seen all winter. I hope we get good warm weather for this weekend. Please stop out and enjoy a glass of wine with us, and relax on the patio.

Opening May 6th

Hello everyone, we are opening again for the season May 6th. We have been busy in the vineyard with repair on the trellis system. Due to the high winds and deep snow, many of the trellis wires in the La Crescent have been pulled off the posts. We are finally done with pruning and cannot wait for the grapevines to start growing. We are having a special for mothers day. This includes free tastings and free cupcakes for the first 30 moms. We also have started a newsletter, so if you have not received the letter please e-mail and let us know.

Thanks again for all the support, and we hope to see you soon!
