Spring
Wow! Has it been a month since the last post? Sorry! Looks like our effort to keep up this blog has gotten a little soft lately. Spring and Fall are always the busiest times for us. In the Spring we have pruning to get done, bud break, wine clubs and of course El Dorado's famous Passport weekends! After passport we always feel we can take a breath for a little bit. This year was a pretty good turn out. Better than expected since The Winery Assoc did not end up selling out on tickets. We got over 1000 people coming through on both weekends, rain & shine. The unique thing about this Spring is it seems it never wants to end. Today is May 12th and as I was driving to work yesterday morning I saw up to four inches of snow on the tops of cars! The ground at the Vineyard was white, but come 9am everything was melted and the day was heating up. Today is one of those dreamy Sierra foothills spring days. Maybe Summer now will start to show its beautiful face. At least we will have plenty of water this year for the vines!

How wonderful to read an authentic blog post from the keeper of a winery - keep it up, I love hearing your uniquely wise words (and I'm sure so many others do also, as I think it's quite a rarity in fact!)
- with love from one of the crushers gang... :)
So glad to have you aboard with the Daily Crushers. Can't wait to find out all about Sierra Vista!
This is amazing!
The Daily Crushers with an official wine! You guys CRUSH IT! Look forward to sharing it with some good friends of mine.
Make it a great day!

Woo Hoo, had no idea the Crushers were into crushed grapes as well. And it 's 'Official' too. Just doesn't get any better than this. Wow, we really DO get around.

Hello Barbara and John~
I've loved your wine since first discovering your amazing Zins, and then visiting (and thoroughly enjoying) your winery in '85, the year I became a wine and food writer.
I'm *so* excited that you and the Crushers have made it *official*! Thank you so much for teaming up with us.
Are you open to speaking with me in the next week or so? I'd like to do a blog post (and then continue with regular updates) about Sierra Vista, to tie in with the Crushers' "Official Wine" announcement. (Before I post anything, I have a couple of kinks to iron out in the blog's inner workings, but that will happen soon.)
I currently live in the North Bay, and I devote a big portion of my http://RosinaWilson.com blog to the Bay Area wine and food world.
What I have in mind is doing a phone (&/or email) interview with you, then writing a fun blog post about you, the winery, your wine, and whatever anecdotes you'd like to share.
Here's a sample of my writing: a recent blog post I did about Nicholson Ranch in Sonoma. http://rosinawilson.com/category/wine-and-food-pairing/
Thanks, Barbara and John, for considering my idea. I look forward, I hope, to speaking with you!
Cheers,
Rosina
