Picnic In The VineyardThe staff at the winery works pretty hard to make sure everyone has a great time.  So I decided to reward them by treating them to a Picnic in our vineyard.  It was a good thing I only brought a case of wine with us or some of the staff would still be up there.

Fire Pit at Peconic
 
Michele by the fire pit at Peconic Winery on the North Fork.  We paid a visit to our friend Cynthia Caprise who works there.  We're considering putting in one at Applewood but are concerned our Wino's might use it for some Pagan ritual.

The start of the July 4th weekend on Killer HillMorning in the vineyard

I recently sat down with Debbie Giaquindo "The Hudson Valley Wine Goddess" (Wow, a real goddess!) who has her own blog  http://hvwinegoddess.blogspot.com/and answered a few questions for her.


The 2009 Vintage is now in the tanks and it's time to be introspective and take a look back at what we've done over the past year to make better wine, to reach for the "Holy Grail" of a fine Hudson Valley wine


Summer 2009 has been an especially wet one with cooler temperatures in the Hudson Valley.  Vine growth has been very vigorous with excessive leaf cover which has made a lot of work for us to hedge the vines back to maximize sun exposure of the clusters. 


Applewood Winery is expanding our vineyard in Warwick beyond it's humble beginnings and I am convinced that the vineyard should be converted to Organic or Biodynamic practices.
