We hosted our first Dean's List Pickup Party on April 8th and partnered with the Napa Valley Film Festival. As a benefit to local pickup members, we released our inaugural 2015 Reserve Chardonnay Southworth, 2016 Viognier and 2013 Midnight. Select short films were shown on behalf of NVFF to gear up for the 2017 festival in November. Our Dean's List members also receive a special rate with exclusive hotels and inns including the Hampton Inn & Suites Napa, who also attended with a table setup for a complimentary night's stay. We plan to host another pickup party for the Fall shipment so stay tuned on details!

We love this time of year here in Napa Valley. A welcome break from the torrential (but much needed) rain allowed for our vineyard management team to prune and tie canes in our vineyard. Our cover crop (grown for the protection and enrichment of the soil) consists of alternate rows of legumes such as Austrian winter peas, barley as well as mustard. Come visit our vineyard to see the gorgeous and bright mustard flowers.

We finally got around to editing the compilation of harvest and crush 2016 into one video. Here are some additional photos from the bountiful harvest as well.
