This was supposed to go out early this morning, but I had some problems with sending it... Enjoy!
Hey Ya'll Well, we received some much needed rain. We were considering turning on the irrigation, but Mother Nature did just that for us! The rain has come during the sensitive time of flowering in the vineyard. In 2009 we had several severe storms that came during flowering and these greatly lowered yields. We will evaluate to see if we had any damage.
It surely seems that Local is in! It seems that many bars and restaurants are proudly talking about their use of Local produce and Local wines. It is great for our region to have more and more of this occurring. We are fortunate to be in region that grows incredible grapes and other forms of produce. As farmers we are integral part of keeping the East End as beautiful as it is.
When you buy Local wine it supports so many people in the local community. It is an integral part of the economic ecosystem on Long Island and NY as a State. It is a great time of year where you can visit a farm stand and buy produce and then visit a vineyard to purchase wine. If you are a on-the-go type of person there are many great options for restaurants serving Local as well.
As always I know it is not possible to keep Local in the food and drink rotation 100% of the time, but just keeping it in the rotation is doing your part to support Local and I thank you! Every little bit helps! It is not criminal to substitute a non-local wine in here and there, but only as long as it is here and there. Otherwise, the "Local" Police may come for you. They are kind of like the "Fashion" Police except the "Local" police where denim coveralls.
Lastly, I want to mention that we have some cool things going on in the near future. For starters tomorrow night we have our quarterly wine club event. It is an Exclusive gathering for Wine Club Members. I will be on hand to talk about our new release 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, 2009 Riesling, and 2007 Five-O Red. Also, next Saturday and during other Saturdays we will have our Sunset Sails Wine Cruise's. These are an hour and a half cruise leaving from Mattituck Inlet with Captain Bob. Reservations are a must! We will feature an assortment of wines, some library wines not available in the tasting room for sale. They will be a lot of fun! Please check out the website for dates and times. Cheers Ya'll, Juan.
