Harvest is Finally Finished

 

Fall colors and ripe

Semillon grapes- all

the signs of harvest

in Yorkville.

 

We finally finished harvest last week - on Nov. 1st. Not quite a record late date yet, thankfully, one day ahead of the first major rain. We're pleased with both the quantity and the quality for the 2006 crush. So, now we're ready to celebrate.

You're Invited to our Harvest Open House- Nov. 24, 25 & 26

Over the Thanksgiving weekend and as part of the annual Mendocino Wine & Mushroom Fest, we will again host a Malbec & Mushroom party in our tasting room. From noon until 3pm each day we will offer Malbec; past, present and future ('05 barrel samples) with a full range of five bountiful mushroom appetizers*. $15 fee waved for Hi-Rollr Wine Club members. Please come celebrate our bounty including wine, wild mushrooms and roasted chestnuts.

   *Including our popular: Autumn rustic stew of pumpkin and portabella mushrooms, spicy dragon noddles with shiitakes as well as a creamy flan with chanterelles in a herbed crust.
