Crush is here again. Where does the time go? Chardonnay grapes are crushed and the juice is just waiting to be turned into wine. We crushed about 3 tons of Chard yesterday for our first day this year. It went smoothly and was a pretty easy day. The grapes looked great and should make a nice wine. We are blessed that we didn't lose our vines with the cold weather last winter and we look forward to some great 2010 wines.

I talked to Carol at the Woodland Park Wine Festival.. She said she closed her whole shop.. We need a wine tasting room in Colorado Springs...When will this years harvest be released, in 2011??
Have fun this weekend at the Festival! Wished I could be there.
Yeah. The whites could be ready as early as January but the reds need to sit in oak barrels for about a year. We are just getting ready to bottle the '09 red wine.
