There are many things happening at the winery. Jim and his son Joe are preparing acreage for a new vineyard. They are ripping, bulldozing the soil, and using the earthmover to smooth it out. It takes alot of time and work to prepare for a vineyard.
On Sunday, April 27th, a good time was had by all of our 200 guests and wine club members who attended the "Blessing of the Vine." We had a delicious lunch with BBQ ribs and chicken plus cranberry and apple cobbler topped with french vanilla ice cream. Our favorite priest was on hand to bless the vines. There was a tractor-pull tour with our antique 1922 John Deere tractor. The trailer that everyone sat in was once owned by the original Callaway Winery. It was used to take the farm workers out into the field everyday to work the vines. The guests toured our sparkling wine facility. We enjoyed beautiful music which included one of my favorite violinists, Diego Mondragon. You may view pictures of the party by clicking on "Gallery of Friends." Be sure to watch for our next party "Blessing of the Wine" in late summer. Last year we did grape stomping!
We had a special event on Wednesday, Apricl 16th for the wine club members. It was all about our new sparkling wine 'Muscato Spumonte.' It is delicious...sweet and fruity! Yum! There were many delicious desserts to taste with the new release. You may see a photo of yourself and others who attended the special event on our 'Gallery of Friends' page.
On May 16th there is a wonderful event going to happen at the winery called the 'Spring Fling' put on by Michelle's Place. This event is very near and dear to my heart because it raises money for breast cancer. There will a dinner, silent auction, and entertainment. You can dance the night away.
Have you come by to see the spring flowers at the winery? They are beautiful and fragrant! Everything is blooming.
