Morning Ya'll, It has been a busy week at the farm and winery. The vineyard continued its record procession towards ripeness this week. A report that was issued this week from Cornell told us that we are around 200 growing degree days ahead of 2007. If anyone recalls 2007 it was an incredibly warm year that yielded beautiful fruit. At this point in time we are well ahead of that and we still have the rest of July, August, and September to go! Typically we will begin to harvest in late September, but this could happen sooner if we continue this warm trend.
At the winery we have finally received some our long anticipated packaging material so we will be able to continue bottling soon. Robin and I have been discussing and tasting blends. This morning we will be tasting through the 2009 reds as we prepare to rack these wines. Additionally, we have been discussing our strategy for the 2010 winemaking season. It is closer than we would like to think!
This weekend we have a whole bunch 'o things going on at the vineyard. We will have live music on Sat. and Sun. Tomorrow at 11am I will be leading a group of people and canines on our first Vines and Canines walking tour. Along the way I will discuss the history of Long Island's geography, the history of the farm, and information about viticulture. On Saturday evening we will take back to the high seas for our Sunset Sails Wine Cruises with Captain Bob. Please be sure to check out the website for all of the great stuff we have going on!
For the folks in Nassau County we will be hosting a wine dinner at the Plattdeutsche in Franklin Square on Saturday evening July 17th. It will be a great opportunity to enjoy Martha Clara Vineyards wines without having to come out to the vineyard. The dinner will be served al fresco at the Plattdeutsche which if you have not been, is a truly special place filled with a rich German history. Please tell friends and family to the West to come on out and join us!
Lastly, we will be releasing the much anticipated 2009 SO VIN YON BLONK in the tasting room. The 2008 SO VIN YON BLONK is just about running out. The 2008 won Sauvignon Blanc of the Year at the New York Wine and Grape Foundations annual competition. The 2008 is a beautiful wine, but the 2009 steps up the intensity. Both are dynamite wines, but I am just happy to be able to offer the 2009, so come on down and give it a taste! Catch ya'll later!!! Cheers, Juan. Juan Eduardo Micieli-Martinez
