Weekend at the Races
July 22nd, 2011
My winemaking pal of Napa Valley’s Kitchak Cellars has too many hobbies! I’m here with Peter Kitchak as he prepares for another race in his vintage Porsche at the Road America Race Track, Elkhart Lake, WI last weekend. Peter’s vintage racecars at the track were under the expert supervision of race preparation of David Moore and his crew from Moorespeed, located in Austin, Texas.
We celebrated Peter’s First Place qualifying finish by sharing a bottle of our 2006 Adagio that recently received a Double Gold medal at the 2011 San Francisco International Wine Competition in June.

Here is my garden after the recent rain. The woodland strawberries are at the end of the season and we patiently wait for the blueberries tomatoes, corn and French varietal melons to ripen. I read someplace that making wine, as with any fruit is simply mining the sunshine!
So now we wait…
