George Paul Vinegar Grand Opening Sat. Oct. 24th

Our friends George and Karen Johnson and their family have been working very hard for several years to make this become a reality.  Check out their web site to see the straw bale building they put up.  At the grand opening you'll be able to taste the vinegars made from Nebraska fruit and wine and watch them press apples.  Cuthills Vineyards will be there sampling and selling wines.  A fun way to spend a nice fall day. 1:00 pm-5:00 pm 302 E Nebraska Ave, Cody, NE.


Also last chance to purchase wines for just $5.99 during our October Madness Sale!  Stop by the winery or order on-line.  If you're unable to make it to the winery before the sale ends, call in your order now and pick them up later.

We've Lost Our Heads!

Many wines marked down to $5.99.  Sale good through October 31st.

Fall Is Here

What a beautiful fall day.....a bit windy, but nice and cool.  The leaves are changing on the vines and some are tipped with fire red.  Ed is pressing the Lot #1 Field Blend today and the tasting room has been very busy with people coming in and purchasing the wines we have on sale this month for $5.99 (also helps that there isn't a Nebraska game today!).

Harvest

Yesterday we had a crew of pickers come out to help Ed pick the Temparia, one of Ed's hybrid grapes he developed.  They picked 2,086 pounds.  Today Ed picked the Concord grapes and is processing them as I write this.  So far harvest has been really good this year.  We're hoping the weather stays nice, the birds and Asian Lady Beetles stay away so we'll be able to make a Late Harvest wine from LaCrosse.  Thanks Noelle for helping yesterday.

Happy Birthday Heidi!!!

Our Vineyards

We started harvesting grapes last weekend. We picked the Marechal Foch and deChaunac and today we picked about 5 ton of LaCrosse and Petite Amie in just 4 hours. Ed is going to use the "free run" juice to make a sparkling wine and the rest to make a blended wine. We're leaving the rest of the LaCrosse to hang for hopefully a late harvest wine if the birds don't get all the grapes. Next weekend we may be picking Ed's Temparia.

We had a terrific crew out today. We've had the same families picking for us for about 12 years now and always have a lot of fun with them....they were even singing out in the vineyard this morning and I told my sister Heidi that they were just way too happy for me that early in the morning. We had the famous Wragge Dogs (from Pierce Locker) for lunch a long with freshly picked tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon from my Dad's garden. Thank you so much to Dad, Heidi and Doug who have helped us get through every harvest season.
