Although we've had quite a few challenges with our remodel project, we must say that our experience with Jardine Construction has been more than positive. Rick & Mike (pictured here) are not just carpenter, painter, awning, construction experts, they are both also pastors! So during break they decided we'd better have communion!

We're getting close to the end of this project, and in some ways will be sad to see it over. Rick and Mike have been lots of fun! Mike (on the left) specializes in awnings. He's going to be providing one for us on this job. You can find out more about Mike's awnings at www.sunwestawnings.com. Rick can be found in the phonebook under Jardine Construction in Jackson, CA. Both Rick and Mike are terrific people and come highly recommended. Not everything flowed exactly as planned on our job, and thankfully Rick has handled all the issues with patience and good judgement. And so far he's making sure everything looks great too!

This past weekend we had guests over for our annual Halloween party. Everyone tasted our 2006 Late Harvest Syrah (My Sweet Baby) from the barrel and loved it. An opportunity came up again this year for us to get another 1000lbs of Late Harvest Syrah at around 32 brix. So it looks like we'll have yet another sweet baby on the way!

The 2007 harvest looks to be very promising. We're seeing great colors and flavors coming out at pressing time. I think this will be a great year for Amador County wine.
