So Far, So Good!

April 5, 2010

The 2009/2010 rainy season has been kind to us and dropped over 25" of much needed rainfall on the vineyards. We suffered no erosion and the vines have been pruned and tied. We plan to mow and disc when the weather permits. Organic farming also requires a lot of hand weeding around each vine as we use no herbicides or pesticides. Barring something unforeseeable, we are looking forward to a good 2010 crop. Our 2006 Syrah Merlot "Perfect Pair" wine will be bottled soon. We hope that it will be just like the 2005 Syrah Merlot and represent the best of both varietals in a terrific 50/50 blend.

Labor News

April 5, 2010

As the world turns, the labor house on Feingold Vineyards has been the home of Martin Calderon Avalos and Lorena Archundia and family for over a year now. The entire family has been active in the vineyards and on the property keeping all manner of things shipshape. Stan is thankful for that as he seems to be getting slower as age creeps in.

The latest edition to the farm is the "Chicken Inn" a coop now occupied by many chickens and soon to have a rooster. Martin's family will have the laboring oar in the Chicken Inn.
