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!

Memorial Day storms check in at the last minute!

The hill country knows that it’s not a true Memorial Day without a major storm rolling through. We got our version at the end of the business day, with a deluge (none of the digital stations on LCRA or our own are accurately updated. But rain gauges in the area show 3-4 inches. And the runoff in our dry creek would not be triggered by less.

In the tasting room we saw massive rains shut down visibility to just a few feet with blowing sheets of rain that reminded us of a Florida squalls near the hurricane. Some patio furniture was tossed aside, upstairs and down.

And naturally we brought out every towel for guests who stopped in during the storm. We revived our rain-inspired playlist and the 20 of us waited out the storm!

Nicole’s Axiom held away: a threat of rain keeps people away. A sudden storm brings them in!

It’s been a few seasons since the dry Creek ran from the pond to the road and of course it reminds us of the old days in the Oak Grove. Take a look at the captions on the video. Many of you experienced these storms in 2021 with us! We poured wine in the rain. Built a bridge to span the running creek. And of course secured the tent around the legendary worlds best porta-potty to remain 100% open while we were under construction! Five years ago and the rains bring those fond memories right back to us. Post any memories you have of the good times!

One Time -- Just one moment here... Put in the earbuds. Turn it UP.
Experience this immersive minute.
This is Live. Recorded at Siboney Cellars in our acoustically perfect barrel cellar. From a single microphone, no tricks.
This is The Heart Collectors
Sonic Perfection.
They play this Sunday for a special matinee performance, 1PM.
We have hosted them many times, and it is an absolute HONOR to bring back this epic band on their US Tour -- 1 of only 2 stops in Texas. This is it, in 2026.
Just once, you`ve got to experience the sheer power pleasure and joy they bring to the stage. With each other, and with their audience. They will give it all to you. This is what live music can be.
We are splurging to bring them back. That`s how much we love, appreciate and support musicians. It`s in our family, our DNA.
And this isn`t a stupid AI post. I recorded this myself, and now I`m speaking from my heart, because they took mine years ago.
We WANT you to see them. For no other reason than pure joy. Don`t you think you deserve a little Pure Joy?
Come get it. Sunday May 24, 2026. 1PM. Ticket Link Below. https://siboneycellars.com/product/heart-collectors2026/

Mid May and it is sunny and warm. Coming out of a rainy stretch we see the cluster development is ahead of 2025 in maturity, weight and count!

Check our live update with @besiboney Barbara as she tucks vines and talks about the current state of play in the vines.
