Planning, pruning, planting--It must spring! In addition to releasing a slew of new 2012 wines, our focus once again turns to getting our vineyard ready to produce another outstanding vintage. Our new planting (2010) in our southwest vineyard will produce Cabernet Franc, Lemberger and Riesling for this first time this year. Plantings of more Chardonnay and Chambourcin are also scheduled for April. What fun to be finally outside and watching Mother Nature be reborn! You can follow the progress of our 2013 vintage yourself. From May through August, we will offer our Winemaker Vineyard & Wine Cellar Tour so you can watch the vines and grapes develop. The first of these tours will be at 1pm both Saturday and Sunday of Wine in Bloom Weekend, May 18 & 19th.
Speaking of outside, our patio is now open on weekends along with the Vyneskeller from 1-5pm. And, the wine festivals begin –this Saturday and Sunday with Bear Creek, and continuing June 1 at Longwood Gardens and the biggie at Split Rock in the Poconos on June 22 & 23. Be sure to check our website www.vynecrest.com for wine tours dates and all special events.
Cheers!
Vynecrest Family
