Spring Events, Tasting, Chores

It has been the wildest winter, but finally spring arrived and the vines have woken up welcoming the new season. The vineyard has never looked better and I'm excited to make grow and produce another vintage here on the central coast. We recently enjoyed a great tasting event in So. Cal. at the Vintage Shoppe in Manhattan Beach, we also enjoyed a wonderful weekend with family, and we've recently accomplished several chores around the farm. A few of those chores included servicing the tractor, mower, sprayer and other equipment, pulled a few weeds, and helped neighbors with fallen trees. Now that April is upon us, I'm getting excited about bottling the 2009 vintage, suckering the vineyard, and getting back to a couple of projects put off by the rains. Lund's shop (and our tasting location) has now closed, so for the time being tasting Toucan Wines will be limited to our special events and the wine festivals we attend. We've begun looking around for a new location to pour and sell our wines... let us know your thoughts! Another good time in April will be the Taste of Pismo, we'll be there pouring our award-winning wines and sharing stories with friends.
