The vines are not affected by what is going on in the world so we keep busy every day caring for them.

Somebody said times have changed but the vineyards have not noticed. They are hard at work producing good fruit, like they always have been.

This will be the 50th year since I planted my first vine in Santa Barbara County. Growing grapes hasn’t changed too much since then but each year’s experience has added to a better understanding of the needs of each region. Weather, soil, and care still dictates what kind of grapes we grow, and ultimately what kind of wine we make.
