September, 2022

From the Ground Up

I thought I left the heat behind 50 years ago when I moved from Delano in the San Joaquin Valley to Santa Maria. We are right in the middle of a major heat wave, which can be detrimental to grapes.

March, 2022

July, 2021

From the Ground Up

When we go through and hedge, we remove about a foot from the shoots which redirects the energy from the growth of the wine to caring for the grapes. It also tells the vine that we are reaching another level of maturity. I never read this in a book.

Toccata - A Little Bit of Dust from the Dirtman

Spring is almost here. We finished pruning the vines by the middle of last month just in time for the March miracle of seven inches of rain.

Fall Is Here...but don't dump those summer wines

Gus Clemens

San Angelo Times

With summer’s expiration date on Sept. 22, is it time to ditch those bright, light, delicious wines you enjoyed when fish were jumpin’ and cotton was high?

Short answer: no. There is no reason to forgo patio, pool and picnic pours now, or any time for that matter. In the first place, if you live in the southern half of the country, plenty of summer-like days remain — in Texas there will be summer-like days in winter. No need to eschew wines because of some silly equinox.

For the Fourth: Rosé All Day

Summer is heating up and nothing quenches the wine thirst like a good rosé.  It's basically a red wine (okay, pink from the limited contact with the grape skins) that acts like a white wine. It can display the flavor character of a red wine while it's chilled down like a white wine. It's versatile at the table as well: there are the lighter, delicate styles to the more muscular versions and terrific bubbly as well. Here are some that came across my desk recently that will be unpretentious and fun to slurp on the Fourth.

From the Ground Up
Well, today we had the Blessing of the Grapes. We should have had it last week when we really needed it! Father John did a good job spreading holy water on a bin of Sauvignon Blanc from Valley View.
