Full Bloom

Written By Alecia Moore 06 Apr 2023
Full Bloom
Bud break is here. 
The air is crisp. 
The winds are howling and we’re waiting for Mother Nature to realize it’s spring now.
 We’re ready, Earth. 
 
I feel like we live in Ireland these days instead of California. It is so lush and overgrown and the deepest assortment of green I have ever seen. The poppies are in full bloom, changing the colors of the mountainsides to bright orange. 
 
The coyotes seem well fed this year, too. I saw one sauntering through the vineyard the other day and I mistook it for a small pony. She wasn’t in a rush, either. I pulled over and waited patiently. I respect the confidence and swagger of a very large, satiated coyote.
 
We’ve been doing a lot of tasting and blending recently, and it is so exciting and inspiring to revisit the most recent magic that was made here. I love this team of women. We laugh, we cry, we laugh til we cry, and we practice patience, love, and curiosity together with this vineyard and these beautiful wines. 

 

Cheers,

Head wino
