Minor thing but we’ll be calling our Syrah/Petite Sirah blend Duality now, in lieu of Duo. Seems like Duo is already being used as a name for a wine.

We’ve gotten a LOT of positive results from our participation in the Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) tasting in San Fran this past January. We’re talking with distributors in Texas and Deleware and with a broker in SoCal, all of whom are interesting in carrying our wines. I’ve done some Googling on “m2 wines” and have noticed several positive comments about our wines and ZAP - exciting stuff for us for sure.

Springtime is definitely here. Weather today is mid-70s and the winery is finally warming up. We’ll keep it cool this summer, of course, but for now the warmer temperature is welcome as higher temps will cause the malolactic fermentation process to finish up in the 2006 wines.

The vineyards are showing new growth too.
