It finally happened! We now have wine for sale! Yea! On Saturday June 27, 2009 we had our first wine release party at the Wine Shoppe at Redmond Ridge Marketplace. We had well over 200 people attend this event! It was a smashing success. The party was to start at 5:00pm and go until 8:00 pm. Immediately at 5 people started coming in and the room was filled until 9pm. Wow! Deb and I were very happy to see all the people whom we know from the different arenas we work and play in.

The Day has arrived!
June 1, 2009
This past weekend we put our first official labels on the 2007 Semillon, the 2008 Viognier, and the 2008 Pinot Grigio. This was a very momentous occassion for Deborah and myself. Our two years of hard work and deligence along with lots of friends help along the way has made our dream come true. On Monday our wine bottles were transferred to our warehouse facility in Walla Walla where they will be maintained at a cool 57 degrees until they arrive at your house!! That's right... they are now for sale. Our red varieties will be release later on this summer. If you would like an advanced tasting of one of our tasty whites please e-mail me at: sam@castillodefeliciana.com

Progress on the Vineyard
May 13, 2009
The vineyard is 95% complete and is looking very beautiful. The grass between the rows of grapes is growing and has been mowed. The final drip tubing irrigation is being installed and will be ready when the temperatures start to rise. Our vineyard manager has been on gofer patrol watching for all those mounds of dirt that seem to grow over night. The gofers just love the roots of our newly planted grapes. Last weekend as I was having my coffee driving through the vineyard it was so nice to watch the sun rise as well as the balloons rise up over the horizon. There is lots of wild life surrounding the vineyard. Lots of little birds which, I'm sure are staking out their territory for when the grape plants come into full production.

Starting Monday the 14th of April we will commence planting our vineyard. All the irrigation is in, our pumps have been primed and we are set to go. We will be planting about 5000 little vines consisting of 4 varieties. If all goes as planned and the weather cooperates all the plants will be in place by the end of the week. We will have a crew of about 10 people at the vineyard doing their magic. Deb and I will be on hand planting and taking photos as things proceed. Will Keep you posted!
