Special Announcement: Blackberry Block!
The 20 acre block of land Alison and Alex bought this spring had been fallow for years and the wild blackberries had invaded it so successfully that nothing else took root. We cleared it this summer to be ready to plant next spring—approximately 12 more acres of Pinot Noir.
We’ve named our newest block Blackberry Block, thanks to Roger Kolb from Willowbrook, IL, who responded to our call and came up with the name we liked best. Many of our blocks have names that relate to what was growing on it before grapes, such as Big Tree Block, Peachtree Block, and Walnut Block, so Blackberry Block fits that tradition. Thank you, Roger!
