The Estate Merlot Vineyard at Siboney Cellars Inflorescence: The pre-flowering stage emerging from Bud Caps protecting the flowers fall away to reveal hidden beauty The “flower” takes form as delicate fronds surrounding a tiny green berry Not hard to imagine a grape cluster from this bouquet! We love to see the size and health of these bouquets across the vineyard! Learning to Understand the Estate Vineyard…

Every Hour is Golden Hour in the Estate Vineyard

This time of year is when we remember that “wine is made in the vineyard”… and, in all candor: Wine is NOT Nature. VINEGAR is Nature. Wine is Culture. As in Agriculture. And specifically, Viticulture. It is the intentional work of careful, time-honored farming and vineyard management that allows every winemaker the opportunity to practice their craft. Left to its own Nature, a grapevine will sprawl, grow and survive for decades, producing grapes in order to perpetuate. But this is…

Vineyard stroll May 18!
As we take a moment during the #dominoday pig roast we can’t help but walk a few steps from the crush pad where the Lechón is roasting, and stroll in the beautiful estate vineyard.

Now that flowering is fully behind us you can see cluster formation taking place. There is a lot of healthy growth to take in! And this year the potential for more fruit is evident. We won’t recount the weather patterns or the work, toil, effort and preparation by the team, but to be at this stage in this condition leaves us very pleased with anticipation of what’s to come.

I’m no JeriLynne Clifford (there is only One) but flexing on a trio of international and domestic butter boards for Easter was within scope. Two pounds, four countries and many hand cut easter egg radishes carrots and cucumber Happily this will be a once-only project.

So happy this guy walked into Siboney Cellars. I met dear friend Pete Valenzuela in 1982/83 at the Interurban Restaurant in College Station. He was a bartender and I was waiting tables during college having just transferred to Texas A&M as a junior. We had several excellent bartenders (hello John Marinos!), managers and wait staff led by Paul Klement (husband of Margaret Brooks Klement) Lisa Klement Frizzell I can hear you crying right now shouting his name! He’s a CPA now and married to Marina but to me he will always be a glass-tossing bottle-twirling Herradura margarita boss.

Time for a reunion?
