Still snowing

Here it is April 5t and it is still snowing. We had a trace over night and it is snowing at 11:30 AM. I am glad it is cold because the Chardonnay is leafing out and we have not finished pruning it. This cold will keep it somewhat dormant so that the guys can finish pruning before it all buds out. That will set it back so maybe we can get past the frost problem this year.

We had successful Rhone Ranger tasting with a couple distributors expressing interest in hearing more about Sierra Vista and a restaurant in Walnut Creek will be putting us on their wine list.

Our new 2009 Chardonnay is just about ready to be released and the Fume also. Both are really nice, better than the 2008 maybe. You come taste and decide.

The next two weekends will be hectic with passport coming on.

By the way I am interested in finding a NCAL blogger who tastes and discusses wine on his blog. If you know of one let me know at syrah@sierravistawinery.com.

Thanks,

John
