If there is a wine that has been the talk of the tasting room lately, it is our Petit Manseng. I hear people talking about how delicious it is and how they have never heard of that varietal before. Fact be told, people are talking about our newest white ALMOST as much as they are […]
Let it be known that an old dog can always learn new tricks! The other night, Mom and Dad had just popped open a bottle of our newest white wine, Petit Manseng, and I heard them start talking about the wine diamonds. What?! Diamonds in wine? Now, believe me, having been the overseer at many […]
Once you have realized that I am not a Holstein calf or a miniature horse, you don’t have to look very hard to see that I am a big, loving dog with a large, welcoming heart. Even with all of the loving and giving that I dole out at the vineyard (like greeting you at […]
You know what they say! It’s a dog’s life! I know I have it good, I’ve got a mom and dad who love me very much, I’ve got rolling hills of land to run around on, and I even have my own blog. You might think that it couldn’t get better than that, but think […]

I might be a silly dog sometimes, but even I am not so silly to think that wine barrels are just made for us vineyard dogs to sit on and look pretty. (Pictured above is Kelly from Windy Ridge Winery in Victoria, Australia) I’ve heard plenty of folks asking about the barrel terminology used in […]
Mom and Dad are super excited about attending some wine gala in a few weeks. I took a peek at the invitation and saw that it was for the 2018 Virginia Governor’s Cup. Now you know me and my research – I just couldn’t stand knowing about something but not really knowing, so I put […]
Yesterday was one for the books. Well, not for me really. I actually just got to mope around the house all day long missing my Mom and my Dad, expected to exist on food and water but no cuddles and nobody calling me a good boy. I was so excited when my parents came home, […]
