Freedom: We must never forget what it means.
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I have to say that my mind keeps coming back to the moving images of Ingrid Betancourt as she embraced her mother, and then as she embraced her children. I have given up on watching the news: it seems that we rarely see news that inspire us. Last night as I kept seeing the stories […]

Corks, screwcaps, glass stoppers and fine wine
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Every year as we approach bottling we always have the corks, screwcaps, and recently we added the glass stoppers into the conversation.

He can´t write very fast yet, so he had to find what was the most meaningful things he wanted to remember. As […]

We are tasting through all our wines, finalizing our blends for the 2007 La Cruz Chardonnay and La Cruz Pinot Noir. This means going through many, many barrels and preparing different blends! Then, […]

Keller Estate in spring
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008The temperature at the ranch is 63F. The vines are starting to push and we have just in time finished pruning our 86 acres of vines. It has rained a lot this winter and we feel very confortable that our ponds are filled. Every year we worry if we will have enough water to last us […]
