- We have hired a part-time senior winemaker (Ken) and a full-time junior/journeyman winemaker (Josie). Ken is a master at (among other things) blending cold climate grapes. Josie comes to us with extensive sparkling wine experience, so we're excited about the possibilities.
- Our new winery building is being built. Here's the finished foundation, taken within the last 24 hours.
- Scott (with Josie's help) is busy planting about 3,000 new vines, which will hopefully start bearing wine-able fruit in two years.
- We've got polished, final logos (3 versions on the theme), thanks to our new graphics guy (Matt). He will also help us with our website, allowing our friends to find logo-imprinted stuff.
- Our main building is being designed even now, with some exciting possibilities.
- Brenda, our friend and manager.
- Steve Palmer, who's been absolutely essential in many, many ways.
- Chuck Kuhl, our contractor, who is a master of what he does. (At least so far. Don't lose your focus, Chuck.)
- PS and Puneet Vedi, our architects, who are great at dealing with a critical and demanding client (me).
Look for our Wine and Opening by early 2013!
