Blown Away by…..
September 18th, 2008 by Annette
…the wind, first of all. It has been windy in the Salinas Valley lately….but what am I saying, it’s always windy there. Somehow, these photos do not show how windy it was. This is a view of the Tondre Grapefield. I love this view. This vineyard sits on a bench above the Salinas River, west of highway 101 and Soledad, and this photo is looking east over the Salinas Valley.
Also blown away by Pommard — the Pinot clone that is. If I had to choose one clone, it would be Pommard as it always produces what I consider a classic, elegant wine. I get three clones of Pinot from Tondre, Dijon 667, 115, and Pommard, and the Pommard is what makes the blend standout. We will receive only the Pommard from Tondre tommorrow. It is ready, but the other two need another week.
