Spring has officially arrived in the vineyard… and

Spring has officially arrived in the vineyard… and the vines are waking up 🌱

We’re seeing bud push across the grapevines. Those tiny, fuzzy buds are beginning to open, revealing the first bright green leaves of the 2026 growing season. It’s one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking) times of year for us. Everything that becomes a great bottle of wine starts right here, in these delicate first moments.

At this stage, the vines are incredibly vulnerable, especially to cold nights and spring frost, but they’re also full of promise. Each bud holds the potential for this year’s crop, and it’s a reminder of just how much care, patience, and faith goes into farming.

Next time you’re at the winery, take a walk through the vineyard and see the start of something special. This is where it all begins 🍇

This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Kerry Simmons, one of the steady hands behind the scenes who keeps everything moving.

Kerry is one of our dedicated truck drivers, and if you’ve seen one of our rigs rolling through the Finger Lakes, chances are Kerry was behind the wheel.

No matter the weather, the workload, or the miles ahead, Kerry shows up with professionalism, focus, and a genuine commitment to the job.
