I am SUPER excited this morning. I received an email explaining that one of their regular buyers had to back out from purchasing some Cabernet Sauvignon and would I be interested in buying it.

So this year, I'll be making 350 pounds of Cab Sauv as well as 350 pounds of Zinfandel. Both from Sonoma County, both I'll be hand picking myself.

I would like to also make a Malbec and have inquired with Tzabaco Rancho Vineyards but haven't solidified anything yet.

I'm also tempted to grab some Syrah from Bennett Ridge as well but that's starting to become a lot of wine. I'm planning to acquire barrels this year too so with the madness of over tripling production size, I'll be figuring out life with barrels. This will be an exciting year for wine making no doubt.
