What's Happening in the Vineyard?

The granite-composite soil, in many local areas, provides excellent drainage. Now, the sunshine is returning and warming up the vines. Budbreak has begun and vines are uncurling, soon fragile cordones will blossom with the 2005 fruit.

Wine Affectionado News

This month we bring you notes on Pinot Noir (PEE-know Na-WAHR), the wine recently featured in the movie Sideways. This elegant red wine, with its origins in France's Burgundy region, is considered one of the world's most challenging grape varieties, to grow and to transform into quality wine. Several Southern California wineries have medal-winning Pinot Noir.
