New Labels, finishing the Bubbly, Bottling, Pruning and Marketing are filling our days!

January has brought the rains back to Oregon after a rather dry December. Many have heard me say “ I like the rain (somewhat) because it is what keeps the riff raff out. If we had the weather of San Diego everyone would live here!” The rain gives our grapes the moisture they will need for our dry long summers, and gives us a chance to enjoy the many shades of green that can be observed in the Willamette Valley.

Heart of Willamette, our local winery association, is updating our web site to include what to do and see, where to eat and tour, and where to rest you head after a glorious day of touring. Start planning you trip to visit Airlie and if I haven’t already I will introduce you my neighborhood, it is great. The rain is here now but Summers and Falls are usually perfect!
