April Newsletter
Hello //FirstName//
Spring in the Vineyards - Update from Zachary Adams, Vineyard Manager & Austin Brown, Viticulturist
As you make the drive up the rolling hills to Villa Raffaldini you will start to see the first signs that our vines are coming out of dormancy. We have reached the phases of bud swell (left) and bud burst (right) in which leaves, shoots and clusters start forming. This season, you will also see the addition of 2,500 vines that include Nero D'Avola, Vermentino and Sagrantino across the vineyard.
Vermentino Superiore Wins Gold at San Francisco Chronicle Wine CompetitionOur Vermentino Superiore earned a gold medal at the prestigious and highly-competitive San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. With more than 6,300 wines entered from over 28 states, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is the largest competition of American wines in the world. This newly released 2016 vintage features flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, green apple, and ocean spray. Vermentino's refreshing acidity makes it a wonderful pairing for seafood and other entreés.

With Tommy Taylor away with England on oecumenical excise for a quarry against Northern Ireland, his hulking chance arrived, five days short of his 19th birthday.
