5 Trails – Ida’s Vitis – harvest to commence next weekend!

We survived another Pizza night with great success yesterday. Over the course of the evening we served pizzas to a hungry group of about 70 customers. I always find it interesting to see what the most popular pizzas are throughout an event, last night 40% were the Crab Meat with Tomato and Basil, 43% fennel sausage with wood roasted onion, and 17% smoked cheese. A good time was had by all! I did learn a valuable lesson, Crocs and hot embers don’t mix……..

Harvest 2009 should start next weekend. We will be picking Edelweiss at our vineyard and receiving both Edelweiss and Brianna from other growers. I will try to reproduce the Edelweiss that we had last year bringing out the earth tones and spice that were evident in last years vintage. The Brianna will produce a nice light bodied semi-sweet white.

Next posting I will try to get a picture posted, I realize that this called a “Photo-blog” and I have not posted any images…….. Should have some good processing and harvest pictures by next weekend.
