We are visiting on Monday - can't wait!

Awesome...keep the faith and calling...what a privilege to be making so many people happy.

We are visiting on 11/30!! SO looking forward to it, Donna Head

Got bottles from every year ranging back to 03. I Rank all of them in the 90`s,Haha

The wine pickup at Millbrook is always a bellwether event in our fall.

This year was perhaps better than most. The cool weather and mostly bare trees set the scene for a great drive up the Taconic Parkway. If you have the room to carry the wine loot you've ordered, it's best to take your sportiest car. We drove up in our 2003 Mini cooper S.

After the gracious and informative tasting we zipped over to the Red Devon in Bengall for lunch with friends and relatives who live in the area. Then we hiked their just bought 15 acres of woodland in Amenia with K.D. our field trained wire-haired dachsy. In addition to flushing all sorts of game she picked up a pack of burrs.... See More

I brought a last spring's WS rose and a couple of dozen oysters for the appetizer and then we feasted with a 1997 Olivet and braised lamb shanks. Heaven in Dutchess County. Music from <<http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/index.php?page=ep24>> just up the hill.

Looking to celebrate Thanksgiving with a bottle or two or perhaps a magnum of WS's superb zin.

And we love having Bellwether Farms here! Thanks again!

Cant wait to pop that bottle of Precious Mountain!!

Thanks everyone for coming out! We were grateful for the great weather!

I've read that the 2008 vintage was challenged by unprecedented spring frost (about 2 weeks in one nonth).
This brought yields as low as 2 tons per acre especially in the Mendicino area.
The grapes were small but concentrated, and while the yield was low, the wine is supposed have good intensity and will be great for aging.
Of course, this could just be marketing--haven't tried this vintage.

I'm concerned about the smoke issues in the Sonoma Coast. At least one other highly regarded colifornia Pinot Noir poducer I know of has de-classified the majority of his 2008 Sonoma Coast fruit.

Congrats on the new addition to your family Rob! How was the Allen tasting? Great way to celebrate!

Thank you for the best wishes. The Allen is having to wait a bit until Momma comes home. She personally picked this one out and it would be cruel to drink it by myself! :0)

its better to burn out than fade away...sounds like a great bottling.

Arguably one of the best zins I have tried in a long long time...
