Welcome to a new year at the vineyard. A beautiful cycle from the harvest of fall to planning for spring, cultivating the grapes, nourishing the berries, enjoying the summer.

This life could be yours! But this lifestyle is like finding a needle in a haystack.. There are very few Goldilocks Vineyard!

Not too big, not too small, it's just right!

In closer focus, there are the lush green valleys of Browns Valley that offer daily visions of bucolic life in the small-town Corralitos countryside until beautiful sunsets dip below the hillsides and grassy meadows and give way to the majesty of the starry night sky.

You are witnessing the birthing of an appellation as significant as Napa. But like all passages that are incremental, it is easy to miss.

Losing weight doesn't get noticed till you have accomplished it,
learning a new language, a tree developing shade beneath it. Your child was just a baby yesterday!

This is the story with Santa Cruz Mountains winemakers and Corralitos in particular. This is a rare opportunity to be in the right spot before the whole world notices these two things:

1. We are sick to death of rushing through life exclusively on our electronic screens..The search for meaning is intense.

2. Opportunity knocks once and on the door of the discerning.
These vines have a pedigree, a following , a cachet, and render beautiful, rare juice.

Consider the history of Napa and then consider a lifestyle that will satisfy and multiple rewards over the years.

Woodruff's Terra Serena vineyard is a piece of agricultural art.

."decades’ worth of insight and experience informed the new vine- yard plantings, and once the economy picked up again, the valley took off. By the early 2000s, the number of wineries in Napa had doubled again, to more than 230."

It is the season of the witch and the mysterious fog rolls in across the vineyard.

In the wine business, at a vineyard, when a new day is heralded forth, everything is coming up 'roses', oops, fancy daises!

There is something magical that happens when you attach to the earth and it's cycles. Let go of the pace of life that we call normal and reacquaint yourself with the changing shadows during the day,
the waxing crescent of the moon at evening, that whisper of cooler days coming, the color of leaves as they let go of the branch. How do they decide which day to fall to earth?

Something more human happens to you, more visceral, more natural when you let the earth inform your senses rather than your iPhone, or your newspaper.

Woodruff Vineyard is a portal to all that is magical about life on a little rock orbiting the sun.

Beautiful tawny grapes of the Gewurtztraminer vines.
Gorgeous and at optimum picking sweetness for a crisp wine with a wonderful terroir driven minerality.

Savor!
