Friday, July 5th at Turtle Run Winery. Thinking a lot of people are off work and perhaps looking for something fun to do. I don't do this often, certainly not often enough. I think I can manage this with our awesome staff today. For anyone who asks, we'll do one of my "Critically Acclaimed" sensory analysis on how the shape of a wine glass affects the acute flavors we perceive through volumetric pressure, vapor pressure, slope, flow rate, and the subconscious responses in nanoseconds to flavor and aroma recognition due to mouth vaporization location and rate. In semi-layman's terms, I can prove there is no such thing as a red wine glass, a white wine glass, but I can prove that wine does taste different out of different glasses and your perceptive like of this glass over that glass is tied to your individually unique biology. Anyone game? Come on out today! Cheers, Jim

We are introducing two spectacular wines, Lauren's Blend and Max's Small Batch Red -- Wedding Wine. Lauren and Max were married last October and both of them blended a wine for the wedding. Max's is impossible to recreate and luckily we bottled an extra amount. Lauren's blend was one in which we theoretically could add to the wine list, so we designed a label and painstakingly blended the wine last week. Do these wines go with chocolate? I know one does! But which one?!?! Lauren's Blend should become a staple on the semi-sweet list right next to Catherine's Blend. Max's Wedding wine is very much a limited quantity wine. This Friday and Saturday!

Hello Cyclists and Music Lovers and both! This is the day we host "Tour De Pork Bike Ride" at Turtle Run Winery.  Choose either the 25 or the 50 mile ride through our very scenic Harrison County, the county with perhaps the best roads in Indiana.  No joking there.  I literally don't think we have a single pothole! The ride begins at 8:00, and when you return, yes indeed there is a nice meal awaiting you.  Also, you will be greeted by the amazing sounds and harmonies of the CMN Band, a band that plays some of the smoothest 60's, 70's and 80's music that hit the airwaves.  The harmonies and instrumentation are flawless. Not a cyclist.  No problem.  Come on out anyway.  The music is from 11:00 to 3:00.  Oh yeah, the um...well...And part of the heading. Hmmm...Should I type this?  Yeah, why not.  Rumor has it that somewhere on the course, there might, just might be a refreshing SAG stop with...um...complimentary beer.  It's probably the last SAG stop (hint, I know it is!) If you would like to sign up for the bike ride, here is the link:http://www.friendsofthegreenway.org/le-tour-de-pork.html

Harvesting grapes is on my mind! This Saturday at 7:00 AM or when you can arrive, we'll be harvesting St. Croix, Frontenac and Corot Noir grapes. If you would like to help, or your organization wants to help, great. The weather forecast has been dicey earlier in the week, but it's looking good for Saturday! Whoosh, right? We normally pick from 7:00 to 12:00 Noon. Some folks I know can't get here right at 7:00 and that's fine. 8:00 works too! FYI, how in the *&^%$ world did weeds grow so fast in 2 weeks? I just finished hand weeding the Frontenac vineyard and our teenage super helpers (back in school) hand weeded St. Croix and part of Frontenac. Hashtag, we don't like the commercial herbicides here! Here is a picture of catawba, another grape we grow and the difference in the photos is about a month in time. Cheers, Jim
