Been a while!

OK, it's been a long time since the blog has been updated, I know. But things are most definitely moving along at steady pace with Carlotta!
Dave and myself have been enjoying the down time since the end of crush. It turned into a benchmark vintage after the past few years of less than perfect ones in Mendocino. We are very excited, not only about the new vineyards we are working with, but also the quality of the wines we have in barrel and the direction that Carlotta is currently heading in.
Currently, most of our time is devoted to preparing for our first big bottling, which is scheduled for May 3rd. We are proud to be working with Santa Cruz neo-pop designer, Janet Allinger, who is helping put our ideas on paper. I could wax for hours on the exciting details of our upcoming release... but ill sprinkle you all with more information over the coming months..

Its time to lay down, and try to get some sleep...My wife, Carolyn and I are off to Australia for the next few months! Going to be making wine with the guys at Heathcote II! ....maybe a Carlotta Shiraz sometime time in the future???
