June 26, 2008 – 3:51 pm

One response I had was from a New Mexico winery who inquired as to why we did not have New Mexico wineries in our Winery […]

How is it that French wines, Australian wines and wines from across the country are less expensive than wines in our own “backyard.”  Of course, startup costs are […]

Grapevines in the Home Garden

June 18, 2008 – 11:34 pm

I just looked at the few grapevines we have in the yard. The Niagara grapes which were the size of a pinhead  just a few weeks ago are now much bigger and I can hardly wait. Unfortunately due our trip to Colorado, weeds and shrubbery and too much rain has started to take its toll. […]

Colorado Winds

June 11, 2008 – 2:33 pm

Colorado’s unique climate and elevation makes for some interesting vineyard practices. While we were visiting wineries in the Grand Junction area of the state, we noticed intense winds in the morning. Later in the day the wind would reverse direction. These strong winds are the result of the quickly changing area temperature. Yesterday while visiting […]
