Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

No there is not going to be a wedding in the winery, at least not yet, it's more a description of a few new toys we have recently acquired...

Something old (it's a fork lift rotater for those of you who are wondering)

 My new harvest boots, quite a fashion statement I know

 New punch down tool waiting for the first fruit of the season

 OK so I don't really have anything borrowed but here is our new scale which is...

Blue

Here's a little teaser shot of the new floor in the tasting room and our 10 foot long super comfy couches, prefect for sipping a little vino on after a grape sorting or punch down session.

The construction phase of our first year is getting close to being finished, the new restrooms are being constructed this week (just out of the frame to the left of the above picture). Stay tuned for more pictures of the front of house soon. 

We're busily readying the winery for our first fruit of the year which looks like it could be just over a week away. Windsor Oaks Pinot is in the lead for the first pick of 2011. We still have a little fruit available from a few of our vineyards and there is still time to get in on making wine this year if you are up for all of the fun to be had. We just added an organically farmed Sangiovese vineyard to our line up for the inaugural vintage. It's a fantastic vineyard planted on a steep terraced hillside in Dry Creek. We're only sourcing a small amount of the fruit from this site so if making your own California super Tuscan sounds fun give us a call.
