The 2009 Project

Morning in the vineyard
Baby Riesling


We’ve (well, “we” in a broad sense - thank you Joel) planted 4 short rows of Riesling right in front of the house for David’s personal winemaking itch.

Brian O’Donnell at Belle Pente, who makes fantastic wine right down the road, has been growing and vinifying delicious Riesling for years. (Not to mention Pinot!) We’re hoping that our own version will have similar flavor characteristics, since it has similar soil, altitude, exposure, and spacing. Until the late 90’s, we had not had the opportunity to taste great Riesling, either European or domestic. Mmm, it can be mighty tasty.
