 Yesterday was our winemaker Russ Rosner's most busy day of the year - the day when he and assistant winemaker Doug Vuylsteke taste through every barrel of Pinot Noir and determine the blends for our 2009 Pinot Noir lineup. We are excited to announce that in addition to our Dundee Hills Pinot Noir and our Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir, that we will also have four single block Pinot Noirs: Goosepen Block, Big Tree Block, Peach Tree Block, and new this year, Orchard Block. These wines will be released later this year or early 2012, depending on how they are tasting. Thanks to Russ and Doug for your expertise and hard work!

The numbers: We are 32% done with harvest as of 10/18. Most years we are 100% done by now. Crazy, non? We have brought in 137 tons of fruit with that split between whites and Pinot Noir. Highlights: Marci’s zucchini bread (of course!), Alison baked us a chocolate cake (again please but twice the size), Cody did up some cookies (my boys ate half of them I think), Blackberry Block North Pinot Noir tasted pretty good, and the biggest thing being the weather looks rain-free for another week or so!
So there we are folks! We are planning on being done with bringing in fruit by the end of the first week in November.

Team, Just got off the train in Paris, got a car with GPS (in French!!!) and surprisingly have not gotten lost yet on the way to a stave mill south of Champagne. Vive la France!!!
Team, Here is a shot of the town of Chablis from the middle of a Grand Cru vineyard called Le Clos. One of our coopers buys wood from around Chablis so hence our visit here. Off to Sweden tomorrow! Cheers, Alex
