Back in the vineyards doing maintenance.

This could be trouble.

Another great morning with spectacular rainbows.

Sunset last night was beautiful and this morning began with sunshine and rainbows galor. We are celebrating 20 years today. And the release of our 2007s.

The wine is in the barrel.

This time of year always brings relief as the years hard work in the vineyard come to fruition when the wine is safely in the barrel and we can relax a little bit. Still plenty of work to do both in the winery and the vineyard, but the pressure is off.

We have a Vocation Vacation guest with us the next 3 days to find out what it is like to be a grape grower/winemaker.

We are also having a special 2007 release party for our wine club members on Saturday. And Saturday night we have our 20th anniversary winemaker’s dinner.

In the meantime, enjoying the sunrise.

What a glorious day!

Working in the vineyard, training new plants. Taking care of olive trees as well.
Guests walking up and down the drive.
All the colors are glowing in the sun.

Happy Halloween!

Were are going to barrel.

YUM!

Checking out the wines of the new vintage. Four of the five lots have been pressed off and are ready for barrel. We will press off the last lot tomorrow morning. The wines are really tasting nice, somewhere between the 2007 and 2008 vintages, but closer to the 2008.

We have great guests!

We continue to receive wonderful comments on TripAdvisor. Thank you, Everyone. Here is another pic from one of our guests.

Thank you Dave and Pam.

More kind words from one our our guests. Thank you Brad and Kelly.

“We just returned from 3 nights at Youngberg Hill. I can’t express how amazing this place is. The hosts are great, the food was great, the service was great, and the view is incredible! One of the best places we’ve stayed. Be sure to taste their Jordan Block Pinot Noir. As good as any you’ll find in Oregon. We had to bring a bottle back. We’ll definitely be back!”
