Harvest season is incoming! Are you ready? Have you already started this year’s harvest/crush?

Cloudy skies over a thriving vineyard of tall green growing Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in Napa a few weeks ago. Beautiful.

Good morning from the dormant nursery where it is, in fact, easy to be green.

We had a fantastic time at the Sonoma County Winegrowers Seminar, Trade Show and BBQ yesterday. Gorgeous venue, great food, and excellent company. Thanks to all who stopped by to say hello! It was a pleasure chatting with you.

Summer sweetness incoming! California table grapes are the perfect addition to family picnics, beach day coolers, and summer camp lunch boxes. Yum!

This new dormant cabernet sauvignon planting in Napa is thriving! How are your vines looking this year? Questions or concerns? Give us a call. We’re here to help you grow.

The dog days of summer are officially here, so keep an eye on those new plantings. Young vines need extra water when temperatures start to soar. Have questions about best irrigation practices? Give us a call or email us at info@casacristal.com

So many new plantings happening this year! We love helping you grow.

New plantings need water, especially as temperatures rise. Questions about our recommended irrigation practices? We are just a phone call away.

We are visiting growers in Hermosillo, Mexico this week, checking on recent plantings and enjoying the fruits of their table grape harvest

All set up for the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Fest Technical Conference, which promises to be a great event! We had a wonderful time at last night’s meet and greet at Maggy Hawk Winer, and look forward to participating in the conference today. If you are at the fairgrounds stop by and say hello.

Chardonnay, just peaking out to say hello!

Taking the wider view this fine Monday morning and what do we see? Casa Cristal vines…to infinity and beyond.

Yesterday’s vine delivery in Lodi. A new Cabernet Sauvignon planting is happening now!

Young, freshly planted vines need a little support. (Don’t we all)

Shoot thinning at the nursery. It’s another beautiful day!

New month, new week, new vines! Happy planting!

One work order at a time, we are getting our first shipments ready!

Look at those roots! Almost ready to go in the ground and when it does, it won’t suffer the disruption of being yanked from a plastic pot. Elle Pots are better for the planet, your vines, and your bottom line.
