BBBRRRRR........

We’ve been in the middle of a cold snap lately. Warm sunny days are long gone and have been replaced by frosty mornings and cold shivery evenings. The vines have hunkered down for a long winter’s nap and they won’t start growing again until the ground warms up in spring. It’s a process not too dissimilar to a bear hibernating for the winter.

So, just like this grapevine, the Wilma blog will be going dormant through year end! Time to regroup and refocus on the many blessings of the 2008 year. Many thanks and best wishes to all who’ve read my gibberish these past twelve months…

There’s much much more to come in 2009!!!

I've enjoyed your blog immensely. I usually hate these things.

My prognostications for 2009: sauvignon blank with Limousin age, screw cap hair standing on end chenin blank with a flowery finish on the tongue reminiscent of lace and juicyfruitgum but only slightly, meritage in a sub-750ml glass container, plus a new 450ml packaged meritage priced at a slight discount when purchased in quantities of 2+, amazing success continuity for the DCV brand, given its sharing the same name as the AVA itself and, indeed, its appropriate representation of Dry Creek's unique terroires, and lastly an early spring to cause the vineyardists sleepless nights as bud break occurs like it did last year during 80-degree heatwaves in February. Bye bye frost on the cordons, hello climate warming.

Warm new year wishes to all at Dry Creek Vineyards.
