The wines all showed well but it was a bit to cold in the tasting room, as a result, the reds were a little closed so we all
decided to come back when the weather warms up. Since we are neighbors, no problem to stop back later in spring!

The new clone of Barbera (cross between Barbera and a palm tree) is showing up in a few vineyards here in
