The visual of a wine is so important;

-Is it cloudy?
-Is it pink?
-Is it dull?
-Is it light?
-Does it have sediment?
-Is it red?
-Is it purple?
-Is it heavy?
-Is it vibrant?

Be sure to use all your senses to examine your wines!

So, why mustard flowers?

Mustard is a cover crop with a main taproot. That root will dig into the soil and break up ant hard layers develop from tractors and people walking through the rows. The cover crop will also pump nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil before and after decomposition. Lastly, it protects the soil from erosion over the wind and rain through the spring.

Oh, and of course, it’s breath taking🐝🌱

As much as we love having you taste through our wines, we also have BY THE GLASS offered this time of year!

This means you can just enjoy your company, enjoy a glass of wine, and mellow out before lunch or dinner with no obligation to buy.

Our by the glass prices are $15-$25, so you can do simple with a Pinot, or extravagant with our SOLO.

Hope to see you in soon!

The most relevant question there is: How has COVID effected your life?

We’re so excited to be back open in just about a week, but we will have COVID to think about for a while. Keep your head up. Looking forward to your answers!
