Hello there Crushnet folks; just a quick entry to start my journey back to winemaking after nearly a twenty year hiatus.
I made my first wine in 1989 from a small vineyard near Madison, Wisconsin from French-American hybrids. Although my Marechal Foch nouveau was quite successful, everything else was nothing to write home about. I blamed it on not making wine from "real" grapes and only made one more vintage before hanging it up. Years past and now I will put my theory to the test this vintage.
Join me as I make a Roussanne from the Westerly Vineyard in the Santa Ynez AVA. More details to follow along with some podcasts you can listen to over at my blog.
Cheers!
