July 2023

Happy July!

Summer is officially here and so is the heat! We are staying cool underneath the Catalpa trees at the Chateau and enjoying the sea of vines which continue to show off their green clusters here on Red Mountain. Our new baby chicks have grown so much! They are hard at work out in the vineyard, and enjoying their new mobile coop! The vineyard crew is currently suckering, opening the canopies, and lifting trellis wires to allow for a bit of sun exposure on the morning side to help enhance flavor and texture development. Our intern has been extremely busy scouting for pests and identifying pest life stages to help navigate accurate spray timings. The production team has been busy bottling and making space in the cellar for the upcoming harvest and new wines that are fast approaching. Lots of action around here!

The newly expanded food and brunch menus by Chef Aislinn have been such a delicious addition to the Wine Bar! For those not imbibing in wine during their visit, we now offer housemade kombucha and seasonal shrub. First Friday Tapas and Club Happy Hours have been such a hit and it is so fun seeing everyone in attendance! Thank you to all for coming out and supporting the new food program. Next up in the HFE Dinner Series is a summer garden-focused dinner- August 19th, see below for ticket info!

Stay cool and hydrated, and we look forward to seeing you on the patio this summer!

By recycling our local glass for use by regional glass manufacturers, we’ll be contributing to the true circular economy.
