Productor de uvas, vino y sidra en el sur de Chihuahua
We bottled ⅓ of our Merlot from 2024 last weekend, and will probably finish this Saturday and Sunday.
(It's only 200 Gal)
We love hummus, so we'll give it a try!

bsky.app/profile/wine...
It means "3 thousand cases per year".
"mil" is not being used as an abbreviation of million.
You might find this interesting.

Winter is definitely over

And it would be interesting if domestic wine consumption increased, although I don't think we're producing enough.
What about aspiring winemakers, such as yours truly?
😁
when winter arrives.
That doesn't happen with other varieties, so now we're planning on replacing Syrah with a different variety.
We had big hopes for Syrah in our vineyard, since it seems to like warm/hot climates.
Unfortunately we haven't had much success with it, the main problem being that it tends to grow too much when we get rain after harvest (instead of stopping and making reserves).
Then we loose many plants...
Thanks!

The main problem we have is that autumn is practically nonexistent: we go straight from summer to winter.
We've had years where the first freeze is way below freezing and the vines haven't yet hardened.
But we'll keep trying (and hopefully learning)
Hi Jason! How low can it get in Paso Robles?
This past weekend we had the 2nd winter storm and after a tiny bit of snow, we had clear skies and the temp dropped to -11°C (~12°F) and I'm not sure how our vines will take it
10-20 a day? 😳
In how many acres?
This year we've trapped ~45 in our 1 Ha vineyard...
