« Older Entries |Spring in the Fog Crest Vineyard 2012 – Update
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012
We’ve officially reached the next major milestone of the wine-growing season — bud break in the vineyard! Bud break typically happens sometime in March, but this year it was late, arriving mid-April. This is the period of highest danger from frost. Bud break can give the winegrower a general sense of the vigor of the vines, but a better indicator of the potential of the fruit is when the shoots are mature enough to identify flower clusters. This is an exciting time in the vineyard – what will happen the rest of the year? Check out our new video with owner James Manoogian as he talks about the vineyard’s terroir, bud break and the challenges faced when producing award-winning wines in California’s Russian River Valley.

Shooting a Video in the Vineyard with James
Monday, March 26th, 2012
Last Friday found us out in the vineyard with Jim and the SIMZ Productions film crew. That is the same crew that shoots for Cellar Angels and did the beautiful video of Jim last November. This time, Jim talked about the vineyard in spring and the work that goes into getting ready for the new growing season. He also talked about enjoying Fog Crest Vineyard wines with food during the summer months. We’ll make sure to get some wine and food pairings with recipes posted for you a little later.
The crew then went into the barrel room to film our winemaker, Daniel Moore, proudly talking about our upcoming 2010 Pinot Noir releases.
And to celebrate the productive day, the crew was treated to an amazing wine country lunch paired with a preview tasting of our 2010 Estate Pinot Noir.

Should have the completed video for you to enjoy in about a week so stay tuned! Cheers!
