2023 has been an incredible growing year. Early and abundant rain healed the vines and soil from the previous 3 years of heat and drought. This season was reminiscent of farming in Northern California decades ago. Mild summers, cold nights, and plenty of rain in winter and spring are natural for this land. There is a lot of noise from other growers about this cool summer being so rare and wineries are worried about getting the fruit harvested ripe, but this is how it used to be.

Up until this year, farming organically was an immense challenge. We just didn't have enough rain to farm. We stopped spraying conventional herbicides and pesticides years ago, but the drought and heat still caused a lot of damage to our vines. We lost so many trees on the ranch, and the landscape, especially at higher elevations, looked sick.

After this ideal growing season, we are seeing abundant growth in both the vines and landscape. This long, cool season will make spectacular wine. The extended hangtime and cool nights keep the grapes hydrated and firm while they take time to ripen.

We feel so blessed, and we're committed to farming in a more sustainable way with as little interference as possible. Farming on these steep volcanic mountain slopes is a challenge, but it's also incredibly rewarding.

- Clay

Thank you to The Bloom for this wonderful recognition of the Wine Auction and our beneficiaries ❤️
"There's something unique about the Wine Auction. It's been around for over twenty years and is still going strong. And there's a good reason why; the Wine Auction raises huge amounts for local schools, nonprofits, and volunteer organizations. Here's a small sample of the groups that benefit from the generosity of this amazing evening: Lake County Youth Symphony, Lake County Arts Council, CLHS and LLHS Culinary Programs, Operation Tango Mike, People Services, Ely Stage Stop, Lake Family Resource Center, Kelseyville Food Pantry, Totes for Teens, North Shore Fire Fund, Operation Santa, Lake County Channel Cats, Mother-Wise, and all five of Lake County High Schools' Fine Arts programs.

It's a big list, and that's less than half of the organizations that the Wine Auction's donations support. We've written about many, and if you live in Lake County, you have been served by one of these organizations. Lake County needs these businesses and nonprofits to thrive, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars the Wine Auction raises help that happen."
