Hello there from the Little River Bakehouse! Spring is almost upon us which means a whole new host of fresh vegetables and produce will be in season. We'll be updating our menu this month to utilize some of the bounty of spring. That means new seasonal pizzas!
Read MoreBy the end of the month, Fredy and crew will have successfully finished pruning all 70 acres of vineyard, which has been a large undertaking for sure! Reports coming from the vineyard are good! Any over wintered disease pressure is low, meaning we will start the growing season with happy and healthy vines. Though, the biggest excitement comes from the greenhouse. All 6,000 cuttings of Norton are still dormant, but they have begun developing strong, healthy, roots. We are not far from bud break so it is only a matter of time before the cuttings find their new homes in a vineyard or even your backyard!
Read MoreThings are slowly ramping up here in the cellar. A vast majority of our time is now focusing on bottling the 2019 vintage. The March bottling will be all 2019 vintage wines! I won’t spoil the entire line up, but I will say the 2019 Albariño is a showstopper. The aromatics are tropical and fresh with the palate being a perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity. I hope everyone will enjoy them as much we do.
Read MoreWho else is ready for spring to erupt here at The Ag. District Center? The tasting room staff sure is and is excited with the anticipation of budding trees, blossoming wild flowers, green grass and sunshine. We know with these things comes the arrival of Spring Wine Time! Our full bodied reds will make way for our light bodied reds, roses and white wines. The reemergence of ice buckets with our chilled crisp whites and rosés peeking out from them will populate our picnic tables.
Read MoreFebruary is a month filled with days to celebrate. Not only does Valentine’s Day add the sweet touch of romance to the month, but National Drink Wine Day is just 4 days later! Just think of all the countless ways one can celebrate over those glorious days!
