@winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @wineintamitime Thank you everyone for chatting! #winestudio during harvest is a challenge but at least I sat down for more than 15 minutes today

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@wineintamitime @PB_and_Jaleh @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards You are doing a great job getting San Diego wine into the hands of those who didn't know they were missing out on it!

@rshreeves @wineintamitime @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards Our new wine association for the Escondido area has been doing media tours, it has helped. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@myvinespot @wineintamitime YES! Very hard! It is ridiculous! #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@hvwinegoddess @wineintamitime @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards One person at a time, one taste at a time. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@myvinespot @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @wineintamitime A small one. Beer pretty much takes center stage in San Diego. Or people enjoy local wine at a farm to table dinner but they don't make the effort to go visit the wineries or buy their wine. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@vino_sphere Temecula has a lot of advantages for marketing, their wineries are all in one area, they have one association and tourism money for marketing. In San Diego we have at least 6 associations and some wineries are over an hour apart. It is going to be a huge task. #winestudio

@ginashay1 @wineintamitime @VesperVineyards @craftwineorg No oak.

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@craftwineorg It is a new issue to them. We have been dealing with it since 2003 in San Diego County. We are much more prepared and "experienced" in wildfires in San Diego County unfortunately. #winestudio

@theswirlingderv @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @wineintamitime LOTS of fog in the morning this time of year inland where most vineyards are. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@dallaswinechick @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @wineintamitime Ramona Valley and South Coast. South Coast is a HUGE AVA. #winstudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@PB_and_Jaleh Every year is a new curve ball. There are so many factors that influence harvest, but they do have a big impact. We try to dry farm/minimally irrigate as much as possible so our vines are less impacted by drough #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@wineintamitime @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards Fire... ugh. We have a "fire season" plan at the winery of what we do if there is a fire in the county and the air is really smokey. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@dallaswinechick @wineintamitime @zeldasydney @winestudioTINA @vespervineyards had a fun chat with him about dry farming a few years ago. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @triplebranches @GoldenCoastMead I geek out on the science of wine and do all the lab work. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@wineintamitime @myvinespot @winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @MiraCosta YES! That would be awesome. Although I don't think I could handle twins. Maybe our next dogs @VesperVineyards ? #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@winestudioTINA @VesperVineyards @wineintamitime Ocean influence in a lot of vineyards, even with just breeze in the afternoon at vineyards 30 miles inland. Lots of granite based soils. #winestudio

[Stehleon Vineyards @Stehleon]

@hvwinegoddess @myvinespot @winestudioTINA @wineintamitime @VesperVineyards @MiraCosta I think our microclimates are too diverse for one varietal. Spanish grapes do well here too, well there is a lot of cross over in the Rhone and Spanish grapes. I think we might get known for Rhone and Spanish grapes. But who know!? Time will tell #winestudio
