Think of it as a one-time gratitude journal.

Until now, we’ve shied away from skin contact fermentation. This year is different, made possible with wider steel tanks and a new punch down tool.

Today, we pressed our first serious vintage of skin-contact fruit. No longer an experiment in potential.

AUTUMN WINE CLUB

Twice a year, we release a curated selection of our botanical wines and bitters. This release will be the last of the season, showcasing our most autumnal aperitivi.

The next release drops the first week of November.

This year’s vintage is our largest to date: just under 4 tons.

That’s small fry for big wineries, but for us, it’s a milestone.

We are incredibly grateful for the friends and family who helped us to manually press hundreds of pounds of grapes.

Cheers to another harvest, and many more to come.

2024 Chambourcin. Spring House Vineyard. The crush begins.
September 23, 2025 at 1:34 AM
As summer transitions into autumn, the harvest begins to change. Melons, okra, tomatoes…and then winter squash, poblanos, garlic.

Late summer is a season unto itself. It’s our favorite time of year in the CSA.

Every week is an adventure. Learn more on our website.

Rule number one of fence repair: there are no repairs.

One of the joys of rehabilitating an old vineyard is its unexpected quirks. In this case, a fence that likes to break at random, everywhere.

Moments like these make this journey worthwhile.

We had so much fun at the @oenoverse x @abvferments wine fête, we only have two photos to share.

Thanks for hosting @commonwealthcrush, and thanks @teachers_pet_nat for inviting us.

This month’s newsletter is all about how we finally got off the farm and had a real vacation.  It was our first in a while, and it was kind of a big deal.

Finally! We reach the cordon.

These vines had a rough start. Years of drought and naughty deer thwarted all upward ambitions. We’re finally catching up!

These Cayuga vines are the most advanced in the vineyard. As the vines mature, we see how different varieties respond to our climate.

Sweet Potato Taho: the Appalachian/Filipino hybrid you never knew you needed.

Taho is a traditional Filipino dessert made from shaved silken tofu, tapioca pearls, and brown sugar syrup.

Our version replaces some of the syrup with our Equinox Gentiane.

PSA: We’ve officially decided NOT to kill people.

…spoiler, we haven’t actually killed anyone.

Our 2022 Thistle contained peanuts. At the time, it seemed like a good idea.

Well, it wasn’t.

Exciting update! Our 2023 Thistle is peanut free! Grab a non-allergenic bottle on our website.

It’s been a while, but we’re back again, in this magical, bedraggled, beautiful, threadbare space that we hope will one day grow into itself.

Another season in the vines begins.
