The Earth. The Vine. The Magic...

Welcome to Barbara Thomas Wines. We’re glad you’re here!

We’re glad we’re still here too! Here are some updates.

First, tasting room news …

We have bad news on the tasting room front. Our landlord and the City of Carlton were never able to come to an agreement on the development of the site and he has chosen to not proceed with the project. We are therefore, for the present, homeless. We will continue to look for a location in Carlton and let you know when it happens.

We did hold a couple of tent events in the parking area and want to thank those of you who stopped by to see us.

Second, harvest news…

The 2009 growing season was, again, not that typical or normal year we have been anticipating since we started this adventure. We had an excellent set giving us a lot of fruit on the vine to work with. We saw a very warm/hot summer for our area that lead to some desiccation on the vines but the more normal cool late season temperatures allowed for long hang time leading to a nicely balanced, fully ripened harvest for all of our varietals. We finished up with the Riesling on October, 24th, one day before the rains came. Now it’s up to Aron and his magic.

And wine news…

We bottled our 2008 dessert Riesling finishing up the 2008 whites; it is truly nectar of the gods. The 2008 Pinot Noir is still in barrel because, well, we like long barrel aging. Once it tells us it is ready we will bottle and let it sit for a year or so in the bottle. I’m guessing you will see the 2009 whites before the 2008 Pinot is released.
