So, I’m at the Oxbow Public Market in Napa and thought right now would be a good chance just to write a quick blog entry and let everyone know what’s going on these days.

The Wines: First off, we are nearly sold out of our 2010 “Grandview” Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc and our 2010 “Quartz Block” Zinfandel.  This came as a big disappointment to some of our new accounts in San Diego but such is life and our desire from here on out was to make those wines available to our soon to be coming tasting room (More on that to come).  We just released our 2010 “Vista Luna” Petite Sirah and if you’re in the San Diego area the first place you can order it is Bacchus Wine Market and Tasting Room  Coming soon will be the release of our 2011 “Turn in the Road” Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc which I am very excited for and then in mid August we’re anticipating the release of our “Haystack Peak” Cabernet Sauvignon.

“The Tasting Room”: If we were talking in person I would have put “The Tasting Room” in air quotes because in reality, it’s not a tasting room, it’s our home office for the Leaf and Vine project, but we’re a winery and calling our office a tasting room just makes more sense to me… Tentatively were looking at March 25th to throw a party releasing the Petite Sirah to the public (even though you can already buy it)… So keep your calendars open!

………….. lastly “What else will 2012 bring?”: In the coming months keep your eyes open for a feature in Mutineer Magazine another Winemaker Dinner, Barrel tastings, and many more crazy ideas that I constantly think of (literally while posting this I thought of trying to do a “Pop Up” tasting similar to that of a “Pop Up” restaurant.  And of course we’ll continue to post more videos, blogs and anything else we can think of to make things fun and always changing.

So send in more questions, remember to tweet at myself @EHWineCompany and my Father @LeafandVine … Lets make 2012 even more memorable than 2011.

Cheers!!! Drink and Eat,
