Not much news from the vineyard or winery today. I spent the day in Seattle meeting distributors hoping to find someone to take over representing our wines in Washington. After all even great wines do need someone to sell them. It was a productive day and I think we've found a great representative for us in A&B Imports. They were very excited about our wines quality and value.

Rain in the vineyard today; we're seeing some berries splitting out there. So far just a few and no botrytis yet. But I'm really still hoping for a couple of weeks of 75 degrees and sunny to get us a great vintage.

Merlot should be coming in on the weekend or early next week and we'll be kicking off our Sangiovese frementers Friday, and more pictures to come soon.
