In five years we've now had 3 different printers, but I think I've now found one we'll stick with! Last year we switched because I received an email from a group that was certified "Imprim'Vert" which is an eco certification...
Well the pruning hasn't gotten off to a stellar start here in southern France. The first weekend of January we were supposed to be out pruning according to the bio-dynamic calendar, but I had a nasty cold, and Matt wasn't...
We're off to London for the Holidays! All the best to you and yours!
Last week was the bi-annual trade show called SITEVI (not sure what that stands for to be honest!). It's a huge event, farmers and winemakers come from all over southern Europe to check out the latest in farming equipment and...
People often ask me why we don't age more of our wine in barrels, well the answer is two, maybe three fold. First and foremost, I am not a fan of oak. There's nothing worse that tasting a young wine...
Last weekend I was in Lisbon, Portugal for the 2nd Annual European Wine Bloggers Conference, better known as the EWBC. Many of you will remember I went to the first EWBC last year in Logroño, Spain, well, I decided I'd...
Every little bit counts right? Well it seems we took that to the extreme this year. Since the weather was beautiful and our Mourvedre seemed to be hanging on, I wanted to leave it as long as possible this year....

We've picked the Roussanne and some grenache to make rosé! Not a lot of time to chat right now, but here's some photos and a short video of pressing the Roussanne grapes. Making white is a lot more work for...
A few years ago I wrote, what I thought at the time, was a funny post about judging the ripeness of the grapes by when the boars started eating them. Last year when they pretty much cleaned out our roussanne...
Lately I have been once again reminded how different winery visits can be in France as opposed other parts of the world. A couple of weeks ago we decided to have an open house and invited two other small producers...
Here he is! It's been a couple of weeks since we picked him up now and he's fitting in very well. On a bit of a whim we decided that Daisy needed a playmate and Elmo just happened to be...
This month just flew by. The past 3 weeks I've been home for a total of 4 days! Busy, busy busy here! The vines are growing, growing, growing, and suddenly it's HOT!!! 35 degrees for the past few days. Ugh....
