Ranch Party a Big Success
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 by ed.murphy Make a comment
Each Spring we throw a party at the ranch to give our customers a chance to see the vineyard and taste new wines.
And give ourselves a chance to say “thank you” to people who have shelled out their hard-earned cash to enjoy MacLeod Family Vineyard wines.
Most of the family turns up to “work” the party. While there is a lot of work that goes in to putting on the party, you wouldn’t know it at the event itself. Looks more like a lot of wine drinking, oyster eating, friendly chatting and general good timing. Here are just a few photos to share. From the top: The scene outside the barn. It was a beautiful day, warm but with a cooling afternoon breeze (just like the grapes like it).
That’s Gail running the tasting room. It was hard to tell who was having more fun, the people tasting the wine or Gail and Rich pouring it for them.
The true hit of the afternoon, however, were the “ranch tours” led by George himself. Having built the vineyard himself from bare land, George seems to know every rock, every emitter, and every grape vine.
The stories that come from 30 years of this labor of love are a joy. And, we think, add extra enjoyment to each bottle of MacLeod Family Vineyard wine.
