Now that we're open, I just noticed it's fall!
The trees are quickly changing to vibrant reds, yellows and oranges.
The air is still warm but with a crispness to it.

If you're planning on stopping by this weekend, feel free to wander around with your tasting glass, go outside and walk the vineyard as you sip the wine, check out the stainless steel tanks where next year's wine is being prepared and breathe in the scent of apple juice bubbling away in the fermenting tub.

We stir it twice a day and the smell of apples fills the room.

Isn't is yummy looking?

Okay, maybe not yet : ) but it will be.  We'll keep it in this tub, stirring it until the yeast has eaten all the sugar in the juice.
Then we'll transfer it to a stainless steel tank to let the sediment settle to the bottom and the liquid starts to clear.

Oh, and if you're a fan of chocolate:

We're offering hand made chocolates in the winery this year.  For an extra special treat,  sip our raspberry wine and then take a bite of chocolate, pure heaven!
