		<description><![CDATA[Pruning is in full swing now. Some of the younger vines in our Burning Creek block that are just coming out of the growth tubes need to be tied by hand. They don&#8217;t look like much in the photo but they will be growing vertical canes and will form spurs from which more canes will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michelle and David Lafond (siblings) have just returned from a meeting with our National Representative, Winesellers. They made a presentation to all the Winesellers representatives who come from different parts of the country. They happened to arrive just before the first, or one of the first, snowstorms of the year and were enchanted, not only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These events have become very popular. We had over 250 who responded that they wished to attend. It is an opportunity to sample some of our newer releases as well as some excellent cheese selected by Suzanne. It was a very windy day coming after a somewhat inadequate rainstorm. We are hoping for more rain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing much happens in December and January. The vines are dormant and it is still a little too early to begin pruning. Workers, however, are going through the field and tying the canes from new vines, or replacement vines, to the wire before pruning begins. We use a machine that cuts the cane about 12 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the largest bottle we have. 18 liters, the equivalent of two cases, and approximately 80 pounds. Not a convenient easy to pour bottle &#8211; we still have not determined the best way of doing that. I think it is only the second time that we have filled a bottle this large.
