Late rain

Hello, I am Jose Zero. I own the Laughing Raven Vineyard since 1999. Since my arrival to wine country I have been transforming this place into my home and second business. I wanted to tell you what's happening here and how I feel about it.
The Laughing Raven Vineyard is located 15 miles north of Healdsburg, California. This is the northern part of Alexander Valley and rain at this time of the year usually becomes less frequent. This year however the rains are continuing and with the last sunny late spring we are experiencing one of the most wonderful years for flowers.
The Laughing Raven is a small vineyard (1.1 acres of Sauvingon Blanc, .1 acres of Moscato Canali and .3 of Alicante Bouchet) and its motto is "If it is not fun it is not done".
We produce Sauvignon Blanc and Barbera wines. The Barbera comes from our neighboring property "Cloverdale Enterprises" own by Mark Lyon since 1980.
The Vineyard alkso includes my house (oh eternal renovation) and some gardens with irises, roses, sage, lavander and lots of rosemary plants.
