It’s a beautiful, cold, blue Jericho Canyon day. The few yellowed leaves left on the vine stand in sharp contrast against the emerging green of winter’s covercrop. It is the close of one cycle and the beginning of the next.
Holiday offerings will be released to our mailing list soon. Sneak peak: “1868” Dessert Wine & locally made chocolate pairings
The fires continue to burn above block 12 but we’re glad to have no structure damage to report! Photo from our reservoir last night. #GlassFire
Earlier today— helicopter efforts to put out fire where it jumped the break #GLASSINCIDENT #GlassFire
Air support hit the area hard and ground crews cut significant fire breaks. Thanks to firefighter’s efforts, we had a relatively calm night. The fire has now jumped the fire break— please hope for the best as conditions evolve. #GlassFire #GLASSINCIDENT #Calistoga
We are still safe although the fires are close. Wish us luck as we work with the brave @CalFire crews to try to protect Old Lawley Toll Road.

Spot on! Opened a bottle of 2017 #NapaWine tonight and it was fantastic.
Everyone in California's wine industry is freaking out about smoke taint. But here's the thing: wine consumers are unlikely to ever taste a smoke-tainted wine.

It was a long day beginning before the crack of dawn but bottling went perfectly and our 2018 East Elevation Cabernet Sauvignon is now ready to rest two more years before it is released to our list. Now beer time!
Friday 8.28.20 6:45PM: Labor intensive yet totally anaerobic gentle argon bulldog racking achieved— our estate grown 2018 West Wall Cabernet Sauvignon is already stunning in barrel and going to bottle next week.
So grateful to all the first responders out there and to everyone who has checked in on us. We continue to hope for favorable weather conditions and are thinking of all our impacted friends. #FireSeason2020 #LNUlightningcomplexfire
