NYC & Bear Flag Farm Connection

The past several weeks have been filled with activities and events on the farm.  We were very happy with our 2009 harvest and crush of the Syrah vineyards!  Last year, our 2008 vintage was hit by a Spring frost that impacted our fields as well as many in Napa Valley. We lost the majority of our foliage and as a result... had to drop most of the grapes.  When the lost their protection from the sun.... the became Syrah raisins.  Not exactly prime for a fabulous bottle of wine...

This year turned out great!  We are so pleased with amount of grapes we were able to harvest! They are still in the Macro-Bins and will most likely be transferred to barrels in the next week!

I'm in love with this photo. Lhasa is a classic beauty.

In the midst of all the farm activity, we managed to have a few stunning weddings.  And I can't wait to see the photos! In the interim - I have received a few images from the super talented, Sherman Chu.  This lovely NYC based couple found their way to our farm and once again, we have made an East Coast connection. I am always so excited when people choose our farm for one of the most important events of their lives.  And even more thrilled when they travel 3,000 to be here.  Lhasa & Adam were so lovely and so appreciative of what our farm is all about.  It was a perfect match all the way around.  

Such a cool invitation by Rifle 

I really think Lhasa looks like an auburn-headed Audrey Hepburn.

For such an intimate sized gathering, we were able to have the ceremony in one of our orchards!

We had a lot of fun designing this event for Lhasa & Adam! Fabulous linens, just made in time for this celebraiton!

Hhhmmm....That Takes the Cake out of San Francisco... Yum.

The children LOVED the tipi filled with treasures to occupy!
