Where does the time go?

It has been a very busy month - just looked back and noticed there hadn't been a post for 6 weeks!  Any of you that have been out to the vineyard have noticed a number of changes I'll bet.  The biggest one being - the cistern work is underway!  We're adding a 2nd cistern to hold 16,000 gallons of water.  The view to the whites is impacted a little bit by the work underway but the work should be complete in a few weeks.  We've also relesed a new wine - remmuS and updated a couple of our labels for this year's bottling (Loft Red and Becca Blend).  This year's Reserve Vidal Blanc is back as well so lots of great options for some summer sipping.

If you've looked at the website, you'll also notice that we have music now almost every Saturday - Laura introduced us to some very talented artists and we've had a blast listening to them every weekend.  It is wonderful because they all play original music or public domain music (not covers) so you get a chance to hear something unusual and original!  In fact, we are working on a couple of special and unique events for September - stay tuned for details.

So what's next?  Well, in addition to the September music event, we are gearing up for crush and then perhaps another Fence Stile Vineyards & Winery cook-off (still in the planning stages).  Of course the rain and humidity are now a constant but, thankfully, there is a breeze across the vines most days so, life is good!
