Look what we did!! After only being open since March 23rd, we have been voted Runner-Up for best “Wine Bar” in Cumberland County. Congratulations to Castlerigg Wine Shop and Grand Illusion Hard Cider for also placing this year!
Thank you for everyone who took the time to vote for us and any other local businesses!

A big thanks to Russel Shugart excavating and his grandson for taking out those trees! This begins the first steps towards more parking.

Zach, Lars and Jeff have been working hard today! They are replacing broken wood trellis posts in the concord patch with metal posts. This is a three man job minimum; someone to drive the tractor, someone to hold the post, and someone to drill the post into the ground.
Jeff expertly drives the tractor down the rows and positions the bucket. Lars drills the new post next to the failing one. The neat tool Lars is using is a Skidril. It fits over the top of the post, held by Zach, and is jackhammered into the ground in just a few seconds. It is loud and heavy work.

Watch out! The kids have squirt guns!
After a hot week picking blueberries and working in the vineyards we are all ready for a cool afternoon in the pond. Rachel brought over 2 rafts and a handful of squirt guns. The girls inevitably wind up together in one raft with Lars, Toben and Leif in the other. Chaos ensues. Anja documents a safe distance away with Torin.
Toben spends an impressive amount of time swimming next to the raft. It was a great day to take a break with uncle Lars.

The blueberry harvest is in full swing. The blueberry patch features several varieties of plants and is just next to the barn. From the Winery deck you can view the patch. We added shiny metallic tape as a bird deterrent this year and the harvest is significantly larger. Fortunately Anja’s family is in town and Rachel’s children were game to make some headway on the patch.
