Hosted by Director of Winemaking Dirk Hampson, (that’s me), our blog does not aspire to particularly deep thinking, linear thinking, or even insightful thinking. (Of course, since this is about wine, we can aspire to pretensions as needed.) We are approaching this blog as an opportunity to share some of what is going on at our wineries, in our vineyards or in the area along with any fleeting thoughts that happen to get captured in these electrons to be spread across the internet like so much chaff in the wind.
