HUDSON-CHATHAM WINERY
PRETTY SOON WE'LL START
TAKING ANIMALS TWO-BY-TWO
Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink!
We're getting ready to start taking animals and boarding up the hatch ways. The winery is about to set sail. It is in the middle of a lake roughly the size of Hudson Bay!
Water is everywhere. One good thing....the vines are on two small, but arable hills. They're fine. Bad news, the winery is now surrounded by trout.
This is a drag. We can't bottle several badly needed barrels of Merlot, because we can't get close enough to move in all the materials we need to bottle...50-60 cases of bottles, etc. With a truck, because there's literally four inches of water surrounding the winery!
And we can't excavate behind the barn because there's now a stream running across where we're supposed to be digging.
And we have a wine festival tomorrow and we've got to pack while our drive way is a raging river.
On a more serious note, this season has been challenging, and more importantly, farms around us are plowing under and/or burning their crops, as this has been the worst tomato and potato season in memory. Many farms will have to file for disaster relief. A tough summer for farmers.
WE WILL BE OPEN THIS SAT AND SUN!!!!!
SO COME ON DOWN!!
