Everything is Coming Up Grapevines

It's finally acting like summer in the Sokol Blosser vineyard... warm days with soft breezes and temperate nights, perfect for our growing Pinot Noir vines. We have several blocks of Pinot Noir that we planted this Spring, and all are doing well. Our 1-year-old baby Pinot Gris vines in our Bluebird Block along the road to our Tasting Room are reaching for the sky.

All the other plants and flowers around the Vineyard are going crazy, too. These perimeter plantings of lavender, yarrow, rudbeckia and Russian Sage around the Vineyard provide habitat for beneficial insects and help create our Vineyard ecosystem, as well as adding color and beauty to the property. It looks like it's going to be another great Summer for our Vineyard!
