Harvest 2021 – Fire Oak Vineyards

September 27
Categories: Harvest, Vineyards

We have much to report on the Harvest of 2021! Barbara is nearly ready to put a bow on all the grapes coming in from our vineyard partners. We will sit down together and get a full rundown soon. Meanwhile, we can happily report that all the fruit from Fire Oak Vineyards is now safely in the cellar! This highlight reel gives you a great idea of the family and community spirit it takes to bring off a sustained hand-harvesting effort. Barbara received the harvest from Shelia Busch at Fire Oak, and we could not be more pleased. And as word reached the vineyard of the passing of Shelia’s mother in the night, family and community worked as one. With love in our hearts, the Infinite Sky overhead, and generations of children and grandchildren present, the harvest flowed. And we will do our very best to honor the effort and moments captured here in what is to follow. We applaud and commend the Busch family and their equally awesome vineyard manager, Adrienne Freeman, for the sustained, meticulous work they led.

Take a look at the harvest highlight reel!

Team Siboney: The Fireman. El Euro. The Voice. Lil Red. The Story Master.

Not just Tasting Room Staff, these are hospitality experts steeped in the culture of the “incredible guest experience.” They are wine-and-culinary geniuses, storytelling orators, culturally engaged students of learning, and tireless practitioners of joyful service… Siboney Service.

They’re from here - local hill country volunteers, neighbors. Fierce advocates for Texas Wine, and building on the positive reputation of the Texas Hill Country Wine Region. And they are your friends, anytime you need one.

A little inside baseball: this group of wonderful people routinely choose to share tips across the team rather than play it solo, especially on event days. Their choice.

Over the past four years, when one of the team is sidelined, the others always step up, fulfilling our service duties and responsibilities without complaint. This is because they understand the value of being there for each other.

It’s hard to put into words the value of these qualities to the entire enterprise.

We only compete against what we are capable of doing. We are completely grateful to our tasting room team, because their energy, attitude and enthusiasm allows us the privilege of creating the most unique and interesting wine and culinary experiences to be offered anywhere.

And we would not have it otherwise. You have told us this directly, and have seen this in practice, time and again. You have feasted on it through Kappy’s incredibly thoughtful and approachable event menus, club release pairings and culinary experiences offered by this team all year, including monthly domino day pig roasts, and the rollicking high energy club releases each season. The team enables all of that. And of course you’ve long appreciated Barbara’s artistry in the cellar, presented by this team every day. And many evenings.

We are honored and proud to suit up and go to work with this enormously capable team in the tasting room, and at your service.

We cannot get out.
They have taken the bridge.
And the lower levels.
Drums, drums in the deep.
We cannot get out.

They are coming….
