Last year we started creating crush videos, but refused to set them to soft jazz or instrumental (snore). So, to that end, we’re kicking off 2011 with the Beatles — definite rock icons. Because of the massive amount of footage we took this vintage, there will several installments.

Rockin’ Video #2: Harvest 2011 Begins!

I hope everyone out there is having a fantastic holiday! On this day I wanted to say a big thank you to all our customers, wine club members, and friends and family who have supported us during the past few years. We’re thankful for you, and all you’ve done to help us realize our dream. (air kisses!) Now down to the serious business: what am I eating today

Happy Thanksgiving!

We’ve been very lucky to be mentioned in some great publications this fall, as well as being discovered by some up-and-coming writers. And we’ve just barely released our 2009 Pinots. I have to admit, however, that I’ve gotten so caught up with posting on Facebook, Twitter and the like, that I’ve been neglecting to put it all on our blog! Smartphones make it too easy…

It’s a big question that no one in the industry really wants to have to address, but one that’s been tugging at the back of our minds for some time. Will we eventually be too warm to grow the grapes that we currently grow? Yesterday’s NPR article summed up the concerns nicely.

Sometimes it amazes me to think about how tiny Anderson Valley is by comparison to any other well known appellation within California. It’s even more interesting to compare it to famous winegrowing regions internationally. For an extremely small valley like ours to have any kind of reputation for premium winegrapes and wine is a big accomplishment, and it makes me proud to be a part of it.

It’s been an interesting harvest, if nothing else — one that we won’t soon forget. The second-latest on record for Foursight’s Charles Vineyard (three days earlier than 2010), it seems we’ve had heat, rain, and everything in between. How does that mean the wines will turn out?

Vintage 2011 in Anderson Valley

Rain arrived in Anderson Valley at about 5 a.m.-ish (took me a few minutes to wake up enough to realize it was rain, then to look at the clock). It sounded like it was absolutely pouring at our house under the trees, but the rain gauge only reported less than 1/4″. Not so terrible so far..

The Rain Arrives

Yesterday we had an amazing day with an intimate group of Foursight Wine Club Members . For our first-ever Harvest Experience, we invited club members to join us for a day that explored the behind-the-scenes winery and vineyard work (everything you don’t see when you simply visit the tasting room). Even though it was drizzly and gray, it was a fantastic day of touring, tasting and eating — the perfect trio, in our humble opinion.

Rain is always a threat in late harvest years.

Here Comes the Rain!

As of today we have everything in except one clone of Pinot Noir (the one that’s always behind – 114) and the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. As it turns out, this isn’t the latest harvest on record for Charles Vineyard.
