We celebrated our first wedding on the property in June. It was fitting that it was our Son and his beautiful bride, which made it worth all of the extra time spent trying to make things as nice as possible. The driveway needed work, so it was graveled all the way down past the vines. Then the fire pit looked unfinished, so it was graveled also. There was lots of mowing to do and an unsightly container to paint. After the container was all one color, we added their initials in big, foam letters, which almost made the container seem like it belonged there - almost.
Everyone had so much fun. That made all of the preparation worthwhile and made us think this would fun to do with others looking for a relaxed place to have a celebration or just enjoy time with a special person. More about that later.
During all of the festivities, the rain and sunshine have been regularly making the vines grow before our eyes. We have to work on managing vine vigor. The number of clusters hanging out there almost makes me nervous. So, we are hedging and preparing for the bird fight to make sure our Customers wind up with this harvest. Nonetheless, things are looking on track for our largest harvest yet. The vines are mature and, aside from being windblown, are it great shape. This is an exciting time.
