We’ve had our first heat wave of the year, with temperatures approaching truly hot (110!). It finally cooled off and lately, we have enjoyed warm days and cool nights. Good for the soul and good for the grapes.
Things in the winery are as expected; we are busy bottling wine and will continue until the end of July when we start to gear up for harvest. Melissa is settling in nicely as winemaker, tending last year’s wines while getting ready for her first crush at Taft Street.
Kaitlyn is as busy as ever, welcoming the summer crowds while preparing for baby #2 in September. The Tasting Room is seeing another banner year, with locals, tourists, and cyclists taking advantage of our picnic area and patio.
The summer music series – A Little Street Music – rolls on with capacity crowds the norm. With The Daniel Castro Band up next (July 9th) our capacity streak will no doubt continue.
So that’s the story folks – Summer 2017. Sunshine, music, bocce – and Taft Street wine.
Come enjoy with us.
Cheers,
Mike Tierney
President, Taft Street Winery
