Our little wine region got a bit of good press with a handful of articles written in the San Francisco Chronicle, read them here. While many of you are frequent visitors, for those who haven't visited yet I've put together an insider's guide to our home. Check out this map for full details. For the highlights, follow along on what I'd call a perfect day:

Look, you have lots of options for where you buy wine. Most Americans buy wine from the grocery store and drink it within 48 hours. I can’t compete with the big conglomerates out there in that marketplace. They have fleets of delivery vans, rooms full of marketing teams, scores of salespeople and many more zeroes in the bank account; I have me. So, putting Weatherborne on shelves in Indiana isn’t going to work. I’d be crushed by the big guys’ economies of scale. Very few folks have heard of us. We are working to change that, but that’s just being honest. Even if it was on a shelf, it’d be a challenge to get name recognition, and get the impulse purchase.

It wasn’t a straight route, over the last decade. From brewing beer in Los Angeles, to starting a family and now homesteading in the redwoods, the path was tortuous at best. But here we find ourselves, starting a new page in the journal. We have a tasting room! This is big news, and the start of something good.

We have been AWOL since last harvest. It wasn’t our intention to allow such a lapse in communication, but alas, such is life. I wrapped up my job at Balo Vineyards in October as the winery was sold to Jackson Family Wines (of Kendall-Jackson fame.) Since then we have introduced a new family member to the world, Theo, born on January 16th. We were managing, and then the Rona! We have been, let’s say less efficient, since becoming full-time school teachers as well as trying to work and establish our farm…
