Today was a very good day as is every day here in wine country. July sweeps us up in a steady heat to move our vines along to that beautiful harvest. Grape clusters are almost at full growth as veraison is soon to be. The ripening of sugar development and that magnificent color change days to a week or two away now.
Stay strong, healthy and vibrant as these spectacular vineyards. This season let's all celebrate together with much more love, peace and understanding. Looking forward to seeing ya's again soon! Until then...It's a beautiful day...Cheers! 🍷🍇🌞

Lol...Well it's been said that the rains were so heavy that...It was raining 'Cats & Dogs'! This afternoon no cats...However...My two compadres Kasey Girl & Leo Boy enjoyed the rain and vineyard romp.
Happiness can be two doggies living in the moment while throwing in a bit of mud and puddles. Life can be so simple with the very good things such as this. Spring is around the bend especially out here on the 'Wine Road'. Wishing everyone good weather days and peace for the world. Until next time...Cheers! 🍷🍇✌️

... And it's February 2024 ... Mustard topcover in full bloom ... Atmospheric river passed through our Sonoma County wine country refilling reservoirs and aquifers ... A few low lying areas flooded with trees fallen and landslides sporadically strewn across the landscape. Through all of this varying weather ... The sheer beauty of California and this region shines like a perpetual mural of color ... Inevitable change the one constant of continuous renewal ... Magic upon us. Never taken for granted.
Leo Boy the three legged wonder dog and Kasey Girl enjoying the great outdoors and running free. Happy doggies!
Wishing you and yours a great, happy and healthy 2024. I look forward to seeing as many of my friends and family throughout the seasons. Peace! 🍷🍇🌞✌️🎶❤️

Harvest 2022 underway now here in wine country. Early season fruit looking absolutely beautiful. Currently a veil of smoke hovers over our vineyard's due to several fires around the state. Later grape harvest is going to be interesting with this smoke filled air?
Always such a beautiful observation of how the majestic grape makes her way through another season. Like the world around us the harsh realities of drought and heat make for a real life struggle. Resilience and perseverance takes hold as we continue to grow and move forward.
Mother Nature's grip remains strong and the same as hopefully you do too. Stay strong and healthy my friends. 2022 may be a challenge, however, we accept that while looking forward for the future. Peace for Ukraine 🇺🇦! Much love! Cheers! JT🍷🍇🌞❤👏

Season of growth with lavender fields and vineyard in full bloom. Fruit set as those beautiful grape clusters develop and soon change colors while developing their sugars. The fragrant whispered scent of lavender fills the air displaying her colorful calm. Sunflowers, vegetable gardens, olive trees all alive and shedding their absolute beauty. A magnificent time of year here in wine country. I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy with a renewed outlook for a peaceful life. Cheers! JT🍷🍇🌞❤

April rains have helped invigorate the vineyards as we ready for a new growing season. As the world around us seems to have so much anger and pain...The grape vines remind us of the chance for renewal and harvest.
My 3 legged pal Leo and all of the beauty here in wine country brings a real joy and happiness to every day life.
We have gone from bud break in the vineyards to now fruit set as those magical grape clusters develop. Warmer and longer days keeping our farmers busy with their vines. Soon the rain will disappear until the fall punctuated by heat and plenty of sunshine during our summer months.
Let's stand together firmly for a successful 2022 growing season and peace on earth. Much love from Sonoma County California. Peace for Ukraine 🇺🇦! 🇺🇦🌻❤❤❤🍷🍇🌞

Beautiful and much needed rain! 🌧 The great news is that 2021 is going to be a fantastic year of vintage for your favorite wines from Sonoma County, Napa and Anderson Valley plus Lake County. Sharing a beautiful bottle of wine with family and friends is something to be relished. Resilience, perseverance and a positive outlook moving us forward. Until next we meet...Stay strong and healthy. Chin Chin and Cheers! JT 🍷
