Exciting things are happening over here, today we bottled our first vintage (2008)Pinot Noir!
This wine is very limited in production, we only made 100 cases and it turned out just incredible. We are so excited to share this very special moment in our family with you, it took so long to get here. So many of you have been following here for so long and we truly appreciate it.
Even though we just planted our estate vineyard, we sourced the fruit for this wine from Coleman Vineyard's highly esteemed estate vines, right here in the McMinnville AVA.
After the wine takes a short nap in the bottle, it will be available for shipping sometime over the next month.
We can't wait for you to taste it!!

Congratulations Cathy! Wonderful news.
Cathy,
I don’t even drink alcohol and have enjoyed the last few years of hearing about this process with you. It’s a great testament of working until you accomplish your goals.
Thank you!

In Alaska it depends on your zip code as some parts are too rural….what’s your zip?
It’s so much fun to read your blog. I have not commented so far, but am so happy for you. My small family enjoys your recipes. Lot’s of my extended family have lived in McMinnville. My grandmother is buried there. I have been to Youngberg Hill for a wedding–such a beautiful area.
Yay!!! Doing the “touchdown” dance for you – Best of Luck!
Congrats on the first vintage. Soon you will be using your own grapes. That will be an exciting day!

Congratulations…this is so exciting!
I knew you had to be up to something of the vintner kind. Congratulations! We can hardly wait to try some of your wine!
Although I grew up around wineries(?) I have no clue about anything wine-wise. I couldn’t tell you what cork was made out of! But I know and can tell this is momentous and I share this joy with you with every fiber of my being. It’s a huge accomplishment and I’m glad to hear of it coming full circle for you. Viva la vino!
My best, Lynn
Oh my gosh I am so excited for you! I have been following your blog (and eating amazing food because of it) for some time now and love to read about the adventures in winemaking. If there are any bottles not spoken for I’d love to be on the list!
Congrats to you! I’m so happy for you and your family.
Congratulations on the new Wine label/category. I’d like to knwo more about the effort you’ve invested in this, and about your terroir, the choice of grapes and methodology
Oh Cathy, that’s wonderful and exciting news! I have missed visiting…but time management has been very difficult these days. I am loving all of your 4th recipes…some I’ve made already. I swear by that grilled bbq chicken-it IS the best!
Before I get too excited, are you allowed to ship to canada?
We are but there is paperwork involved and a few hoops to jump through. Canada has some of the most difficult shipping laws. When the wine is released, call the winery and we can try to work through it based on the region you live in.
This blog helps me to understand a lot better how things work
