We are glad at Copper Horse Vineyard that our friends and family loved our wine. We thank you all. We have only 22 bottles left of our 1st born Rosé. But stay tuned, the Red is coming this Fall...and there will be much more in the coming year!   Judy rises her glass of CHV […]

Wall-Ye in English I heard of a French robot called Wall-Ye that can prune vines about a year ago or so, and I have been following its development since. It had some issues at the beginning but it seems to be working now and doing more, such as mowing and removing suckers. I'm really looking […]

The French flag flies over CHV for the day, today July 14th, while we're getting ready for an early harvest again this year. Le drapeaux francais vole au dessus de Copper Horse Vineyard pour la journee, aujourd'hui 14 Juillet, alors que nous nous preparons pour une recolte avancee encore cette annee.  

When we moved in our new Home on our vineyard, we had only the well, the well shed, the solar panels, the garage, and the house. First we built a chicken coop for our little chicks: Then we built a barn for Gina's Horse: And a compost bin with the left over wood: We needed […]

You know my passion for living critters, so here are some we saw around the house: A quail: A nest in a cactus: White Tail Bunnies: A white tail deer (Doe actually): A frog (Yes, we do have some that come out during the monsoon): A Chiricahua frog: A Texas Horned Lizard: Some lizards: A […]

Early harvest of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah, and Viognier. This also means we need space for storing our wine, so we are retrofitting our garage: We also need more power so I double our Solar Panels, and chang all the batteries by more efficient ones:

We have a barn with a horse and we're looking for one for Eric. But Rosy is alone, so we got 2 dwarf Nubian goats, Lakota and Rain: They are so much fun and they are bonding with Rosy, and Lakota gives us milk twice every day.

We finally get an address and we are moving in, for real. The place needs some work, but first we have to unload the Pod... Even knowing we brought only a quarter of our stuff from Seattle, half of it ends up in the garage as we don't have room for it in our small […]

here are some old blogs I adding just now. OK so today, July 5th, 2015, I saw a snake that was not a rattlesnake. It was green and going between the pump shed and the solar panels. Then we saw a Tarantula that tried to come to our dinner and went to watch the car […]

The vineyard is healthy and growing In spite of the lack of water in 2013, too much water in 2014 (deluge), and sporadic watering in 2015 due to broken generator, the vines are doing good. We gave them some fertilizer and the rain gave them extra water. They are happy little vines growing like crazy. […]
