Back in Black!

We have moved back to Santa Barbara and things are well. San diego was awesome, but opportunity brought us back!

Amazingly the film keeps getting bit of steam from people near and far. some events on the rise:

Showing and tasting at Santa Barbara Winery on the 19th of May at 6pm

and on the 6th of June in Valencia CA for a food pairing and showing. please check the site for info about the events.

We bottled our 07 Cab from Estelle Vineyard a month ago. the wine tastes great and amazes me because of the trail it took to get to the bottle... First i had to miss the harvest due to my wifes competition schedule, but then the Witch Fire broke out in SD... i had to evecuate and while doing so i knew i could not go to france the next day for her comp, so i jumped on the phone had a deal for my grapes and 3 days later was on the road to Santa Ynez to get my fruit! the wine fermented as the ground still smoldered and luckily our house was spared somehow though scared by fire a little. got it in barrel and endured the Ramona Summer, then a racking then 2 years later off it went back to Santa Ynez a well traveled wine! never really had it in the cold, so it really is a wine in the "old style". got some real nice glass from Bryan Babcock and it is now in the bottle!

other news: i am in partnership with a label now called Rogue Cellars. o9 is our first vintage and the Cab is progressing beautifully. recently it made it all the way through malo and the flavors are back! we hit it with sulphur and now it is tucked away to age!

we are targeting 125 cases

Hope all are well out there if anybody reads this. videos to come soon.

Cheers!
