Read MoreWine For Haiti Fundraiser
As the New Year set in, tragedy hit home to millions on a little island in the Caribbean sea. We here in Seattle are well-known for our brilliance, lets say. Perhaps it’s the doldrum grey winter weather igniting the brain bulbs, but alas I can confidently say that most flashes of brilliance hitch a ride on the tie-die conveyor belt and are lost to the ether. However, just the other day my good friend Garren’s bulb flashed and has burned brightly for over a week as he hit the pavement running on a wild hair. He set out on a mission to help those less fortunate in Haiti, by...
Read MoreWhere’s Wino? Marketime.

The original art was created by French painter G. Massias in 1895 as a poster to advertise bicycles made by Gladiator. This was the Belle Époque in Europe when life was becoming easier for the upper classes...
Read MoreWinter on the Lump o’ Dirt
Our little Lump o’ Dirt is ten acres of future vineyard land in Manson, WA. Until the vines are installed, it’s just a lump of dirt. Until spring, it’s just snow covered dirt. We’ll try some test plantings this year to assess the potential for specific varieties on the site. It sure looks promising, though (under the snow). Explore more about our adventures in the dirt in the ‘Catagories’ sidebar under ‘Sesto Cielo’. That’s 6th...
