Closed for the Season


      Thank you to all our friends and customers who continue to make our adventure in winemaking such a great experience.  At the end of the day, we again increased our sales by almost 1000 gallons this past season.  What is amazing is that we used to say we increased our sales by 100% for our first 4 years!  We started with around 350 gallons and 4 varieties that first year; Chanbourcin, Concord, Blush (Stueben), and Niagara.  Now, 6 years later we can no longer sustain triple digit growth while working our day jobs as teachers.  However, keeping all our customers returning and increasing our growth by 20-30% is just as gratifying.  

      Its been another great year and we look forward to new and exciting things in the upcoming year.  Things like our New deck, a new website, online sales and wine shipping and a gradual expansion of our vineyard so that we can contunue to meet the increased demand without compromising our commitment to grow and produce our own estate wines.  If you have never tried our wines, you'll understand why we want to control our own level of quality by growing our own grapes. In just a few months our fresh, new 2014 vintage will be released and we will be able to ship almost anywhere.  Now we can take it up to the next level.  First, national then the world!
