Down the Row

Reveci venir du printemp

Yes, once again comes spring, and no matter how dreary was the winter, no matter how difficult last year may have been, our hearts are always renewed somehow. For those of us who have the privilege of working in the vineyard this time of the year, it is a remarkable time and a remarkable experience.

The tender shoots emerging from the buds cannot help but lift the spirits. The special pink of the edges of the emerging leaves on the Chardonnay are just the most wonderful color, reminiscent of the rosy hue inside a sea shell. Although the aromas have not yet begun to emerge, it will only be a few days until the sweet perfume of the grape flowers begin to fill the air.

Our little winery sits surrounded on three sides by our vineyard and a short saunter will take you deep into rows. Come see and share our joy, then taste the wines made with the produce of the vines you've just met and see if you don't feel some of our passion for this country and this place.
