MCV FARM NEWS - 6.25.10 - Strawberry Moon.

Morning Ya'll, 

       The season is in full swing.  We have reached and passed the Summer Solstice, Strawberry Festival, and the Strawberry Moon.  The season continues to be a great one in the vineyard.  Jim and the guys are in the midst of pulling leaves, lifting wires, hedging and mowing!  Fruit set is all but complete in the vineyard and it seems like we have had a good fruit set.  The next step is to get leaves removed in order expose the newly forming clusters to sun and air.   Leaf removal will naturally give a better resistance to diseases that sometimes can affect the vineyard. Also, Jim will be giving his second class of Vines to Wines. There will be much to discuss in Vines to Wines. 
      It is going to be a busy week on the North Fork.  The first annual Food and Wine Festival will be held in Greenport.  In celebration and conjunction with the festival we will offer a barrel tasting at the tasting room.  We will be offering barrel samples of the 2009 Merlot and Cabernet Franc.  Robin and I will be on hand to offer these samples .  For more information on this festival check out our website and click the link to the North Fork Food and Wine Festival. If you like food and wine, well you will not want to miss this! 
     Last weekend we had our Maiden Voyage for Sunset Sails and a great time it was!  We had a wonderful evening of beautiful scenic views, great wine, great food, great people, and great conversation.  We have more dates available and highly suggest people take advantage of at least one voyage. Sunset Sails is a great deal for our wine club members as they receive $20 off of each ticket. 
     If you are single and/or you know some single people tonight is our Singles Mingle.  DJ Phil will be making the tunes happen and Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Patchogue will be offering a group lesson.  But, hey Singles Mingle is not limited to singles!  If you like to dance and drink great wine, well Singles Mingle is for you as well! Enjoy the great weather and hopefully you will be making the North Fork a destination this weekend! DriNk LoCaL.   

      Cheers, 

           Juan.
