September Newsletter

Greetings Friends,

The 2016 harvest has started! We're picking grapes, battling birds and keeping our fingers crossed the weather holds out. We're starting off with the early ripening varieties like Pinot Grigio, Traminette and Seyval Blanc. We will finish up early next month with Riesling, Vidal Blanc and Cabernet Franc.

Just a reminder, the Vyneskeller is open 7 days a week so after you are done tasting you can grab a glass of wine and relax downstairs.

Glass Half Empty

By Malachi Duffy

Have you guys heard of Pokémon Go? Who hasn't?

In Pokémon Go, you travel around with the Pokémon go app open on your phone and try to catch Pokémon (pocket monsters) who randomly appear while you are out and about in your travels. You catch Pokémon with Pokeballs that are collected at Pokestops. Once you see a Pokémon, you throw a Pokeball at it and try to catch it. The idea is to "catch them all".

I know all of this because my son has explained it to me. He also informed me Vynecrest is a Pokestop and has tasked me to load up on Pokeballs while I am at the winery so he can use them to catch Pokémon.

With all of the local wineries, breweries and distilleries I think there should be a LocalDrinks Go app. It would have all of the local beverage producers and there available drinks. The goal would be to "drink them all". Once you "drink them all" you would get a gold star and you would start over from the beginning.

Just a thought

Cheers!
