The Montepulciano and Aglianico Harvest 2018 is almost done!!! The Grapes Those grapes looks so big and juicy! It amazing how quickly the vineyard can…

It is so good to be finishing Roussanne harvest!!! The morning is beautiful, the air is crisp and everyone is excited to be harvesting again!!!…

What a beautiful sunrise to kick off this year’s Roussanne Harvest! This year’s Roussanne harvest is in full swing and the grapes are plump, juicy…

We are at it again, another early morning harvest and this time we have a new variety, Albarino! We are excited for the Albarino harvest…

Like our Montepulciano harvest, the Aglianico was also a month earlier than in previous years. You can probably imagine our excitement as we are done with grape harvest for the year!

This year’s Montepulciano grape harvest was the earliest we have ever had for this grape variety! Normally harvested the end of September and into October, we are a month earlier but I’m not complaining!

Having a winery is a logical step when you have a vineyard. We knew that one day we wanted to start our own winery. Well, that “one day” has come. It is very exciting to start getting ready to open Oswald Winery.

This year has been a roller coaster with our Roussanne grapes thanks once again to bunch rot. Thankfully, we beat the rot and have harvested all but one acre of Roussanne so far. Unlike other harvests though, we battled angry bees!

Last year, for the first time we dealt with bunch rot in the vineyard. This year, thanks once again to cool temps, lots of rain and humidity, we are battling the beast again.
