This week at Alcantara

This week at Alcantara Vineyard and Winery is starting off busy. We are still adjusting to the hardware and software upgrade so that causes some anxiety and uncertainty.
Sunday was the hottest day on record too. At least with the higher altitude, it cools off in the evenings. The vines love that 40-50 degree temperature swing in a 24 hour period. Any they got it! 107 was the high and about 57 at night for the low.

We will also be bottling chardonnay this week. That's exciting and timely because we are sold out of both moscato and savignon blanc wines in the Tasting Room.

Tom will be helping with the bottling while I assist with the office software issues. I think there will be barrel cleaning and racking going on too; more about that as I learn about it. Hopefully some pictures along the way.
