Pruning complete and great weather!

We've had wonderful weather and the days I spent pruning were very rewarding. Hard work but the time gave me a chance to think, listen to some good music and get some much needed exercise. Now, I'm getting ready for the first tasting event of our season and looking forward to getting back into projects around the property.

Remember our $1 shipping for orders of six bottles or more, and our new release , the 2006 Estate Zinfandel, is at the tasting bar in two more local places: SLO Down Pub offering live music and a cool vib and Gather in the village of Arroyo Grande opening later in March.

Started pruning, finally!

We've started pruning having completed bottling the 07' wines. The pruning is going well, but rain will be slowing progress this coming week.

Thanks to all those who've stop in to taste our 2006 Estate Zinfandel. Check out our new tasting sign used at Lund's on Saturdays - painted by Margareta.

Bottling and a little rain is nice!

We've been working at hand-bottling our 2007 vintage wines. We completed the small amount of 07 Estate Petite Sirah and we're still working on the 07 Estate Zinfandel. By the end of next week, you'll find us in the vineyard pruning.

Several days of rain is contributing to our rain-totals but we are still way under average.

New Release!

Toucan Wines 2006 Estate Zinfandel is now released on the web site and available at a few resellers. Stop in at Lund's (in Arroyo Grande) this Saturday and try the new release - and visit us at the Orange County Wine Society event March 1st to sample all our current releases.
