New Love-New Pinot
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010We have officially opened our tasting room on a regular schedule (thursday-sunday 11Am to 4:30PM). This past Valentine´s weekend was a wonderful first experience as we welcomed guests to taste barrel samples of our 2009 Pinot Noir. Kit our new tasting room manager convinced me that she would decorate tastefully but slightly “cheesy”; and well […]

Veraison in the vineyard
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Last night I took a long stroll through our lower areas in the La Cruz Vineyard. Veraison is well under way in most blocks. For those of you who aren´t familiar with this term, veraison refers to the coloring of the Pinot Noir and Syrah grapes. It is important for many reasons: birds! Being surrounded […]
Spring is underrated in a winery!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008People always associate harvest (fall) as the “busy” season for wineries. Well, after this week, I can say, that just ain´t true. 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, […]
