Ricardo and Octavio work through rain or shine. They deserve as much credit as anyone in making the wines. I’m thrilled that #mendocinocounty prioritized it’s farm workers this week and they are both getting their #covidvacccine today! 🙌 right now they are pruning, pruning, pruning - 70% done.

It’s Friday mood! Giving our 2020 Rosé some vibes for the summer. Wine is much more than grapes and science. Insert music and yeast will respond to the mood. Getting ready to bottle it next month! It’s ⚡️🎧😎

Regenerative farming requires awareness and experi

Regenerative farming requires awareness and experimentation. There aren’t simple answers to complex systems. For us it began with notill (30 years ago), no herbicides, and the addition of organic matter via compost. To continue building the little organic matter found on our mountain site, we are constantly experimenting with different cover crops. I’m particularly excited this year to have 4 different experiments on block “1”. Notill and not using machinery in our vineyard makes it challenging to find the right mix of seed that will succeed. I’m sure the turkey will love this... but I mostly hope to continue learning.

A welcomed sight and sound in North Coast of Calif

A welcomed sight and sound in North Coast of California today. After a long hot summer, we are grateful to get some rain and for nature’s cycles & rhythm that keep us grounded. The vines on the mountain are still green, but getting ready for winter dormancy. A time to exhale.

How does a winemaker do Friday? Start off with @vitis_californica killer cider. Local Gravenstein apples and foraged wild grapes. Followed by @diavolapizzeria “Bianca” paired with Brezza Langhe Freisa from @bergamotwine perfect way to end a long day in the cellar. What’s your Friday like? Shoutout to Ray for making this beautiful table.

Another harvest for the books. It has certainly been a rollercoaster ride for all grapes growers in California, but as farmers, we will persevere. We are grateful for the quality of the fruit coming out of this vintage. Also thankful for the amazing work of the #farmworkers that make it all possible. From pruning to harvest - rain or shine, 35F or 95F - they tend to the vines with a smile. They get all the credit. Now we’ll hide in the cellar to watch the fermentations and soon enough we’ll start planning for the 2021 growing season!

Final pass through block five before we harvest with blue skies tomorrow! If you can’t tell, harvest is Martin’s favorite time of the year! #harvest2020 #cabernetsauvignon

Day in the life of a @topel_orsa winery dog - Millie. 1)While humans are busy at “work,” I like to chew these silicone things called bungs 2) When I actually get attention, I prefer to fetch them 3)I get intentionally dirty so I can check out the reservoir 4)Chase opportunistic turkeys trying to eat my favorite fruit - GRAPES! 5)After running around our whole Estate vineyard, while Martin samples grapes, I need my beauty rest on my favorite @bostoncollege blanket.
