| Description: | To introduce myself, I am Lauren. I am originally from San Diego and after graduating from the University of San Diego in December I was itching to explore a different part of the country. I ended up moving out to Charlottesville three months ago. I drove cross country, with my car packed to the brim, intent on working within the wine industry. I started doing tastings all across the Monticello AVA and I fell in love with Keswick... So after a few months of training and learning everything I can, I am excited to be the new tasting room manager! To focus on the blog, I am planning on using this as a tool to keep you informed about the goings-on at the vineyard as well as have you learn about the wine, as I work with them and learn about them. Any time I learn something new I'll post it for you. Since I learn something new every day, I'll be on here daily keeping you just as informed as I am! |

Meeting our wine club members, who become familiar faces and friends3. Hard working employees4. Greetings from Mittens the cat5. The absence of fruit flies 6. Feeling like part of the family...and last but definitely not least...7. Fantastic wine!

Black Reserve Friday
So I am very excited about this so I had to let everyone know about it! On Friday November 27th (Black Friday) we are going to be releasing one of our previously unreleased wines. I cant tell you which one it is because that would ruin the surprise, but I can tell you this... it is one of our reserve wines! So if you are trying to avoid the malls/crowds/traffic which seem to be unavoidable that day, come out to our tasting room to try this special wine. Feel free to bring a picnic (leftover turkey sandwiches anyone?) and relax.

Malolatic Fermentation
Recently we have been keeping the wines looking fantastic. One thing that is very important is stirring the wine barrels. The boys take out the bung, which is a giant stopper on the top of the barrel, and use a large metal pole to stir the wine. This keeps the yeast in suspension within the wine. I was able to taste the 2009 Chardonnay and I like it a lot right now. It is much more acidic and tart then the 2008 Chardonnay.
