HAPPY SPRING, YA'LL!

Wow, isn’t it great to see everything turning green? I noticed the change in color in the vineyard just yesterday – a just barely perceptible soft green shyly peeking out of the ground.  I thought this winter would never end, and here on the vineyard we all have a massive case of “cabin fever”.  While the snow was pretty, this Southern gal is ready for warmer weather, balmy breezes and sunny days in the vineyard.  How about you???

So…let’s get started!  Welcome to the 2010 season at Le Cave!  This year, we have decided to do our part to boost the economy.  After much thought and discussion, we have re-priced our selection of wines so that you can enjoy without punch to  your pocket!  Our revised price wine menu is on the website – so go find your favorites and get ready to enjoy the savings!

We are gathering our gloves and boots and tools and waiting for the vines to “wake up”.  The entire famdamily is here this season and we are so happy – Blair and Vicky are back from Georgia (HOORAY!).  Rae and Troy are here and we’re going to show that Yankee the ropes this year (what fun – initiation of a new vineyard person!).  The “grands” get to ride on top of the pile as we take the cuttings to the burn pile (they love that!).  Captain Jack, Luke and Boone are all fat and need to get some weight off!  And we’re just itchin’ to get moving and welcome another year of production at the vineyard.

Larry has great wines ready for your tasting pleasure, and a few new selections will soon go into bottles – as always, he’s loving the crafting of dessert wines, and WOW!  He’s talking on his page, so go take a peek at “Vintner’s Notes” and catch up on the latest.

Le Cave Vineyards and the Ozark Mountain Wine Trail will be participating in two GREAT festivals early this year, both during which we will be able to sell our wines!  April 24 and 25th, we will be at Chateau on the Lake in Branson for the second annual Missouri Food & Wine Festival.  We had so much fun last year, and this year will see more food and wine vendors and lots of special booths that have been added.  So make plans to join us – it’s on our calendar and you can get all information at mowinefest.com.

The second festival is the Pierce City Arts & Wine Festival in Pierce City on June 12th  Pierce City has specifically invited the Ozark Mountain Wine Trail to participate and we will be pouring and selling our wines on that day – what fun!  New friends to share our wines with!  Great artists and their work will be on display and it’s a wonderful “Americana” atmosphere in Pierce City – put this one on your calendar too and come spend the day with us!

We’ve updated our calendar – our 3rd birthday celebration over the Memorial Day weekend, a “Spring Fling” with the LUCKY BOYS on June 6th – all are listed there.  As always, call for an appointment during the week, or visit us on the weekends, and we look forward to a great season and seeing you SOON!

A votre sante from Le Cave!
