Jan 30, 2012 Folks, when visiting the vineyard look at the rows and rows of vines, and frequently comment that it must be a lot of work and where do we get enough people to harvest all those grapes? While it is always a challenge to find folks to do this kind of farming, the [...] Read More…
Where’s all the snow? It’s mid-January and our grapevines are sporting only a dusting of the white stuff. Good enough for me- I’m happy to consider it a snow day and stay home and cook. Here’s a great cold weather recipe with deep flavors that will warm you and transport you to an exotic place. [...] Read More…
I have the belief we can make world class Ice Wine here in Vermont. Currently the mecca for Ice Wine is the Niagara Bench (the land lying above the south shore) of Lake Ontario on the Canadian portion of the lake. There in Ontario, due to the influence of the “warm” waters of Lake Ontario, [...] Read More…

Virtually no damage! Except for [...] Read More…
Have you heard? Our 2010 Marquette won “Best of Show” red wine at the International Cold Climate Wine Competition held in MN. Minneapolis Star Tribune contributor Bill Ward, who sampled the wine and wrote an article on the competition, said of the wine, “It also was the most delicious cold-climate red wine I ever tasted.” [...] Read More…
Dining at sunset among the grapevines. Every August, just before the harvest season begins to heat up, the staff at Shelburne Vineyard sit down together to an al fresco feast among the vines; farmhouse style. It’s our calm before the storm. Long tables laid end to end are covered with white cloths. Our eclectic and [...] Read More…
Every Greek YiaYia has her own special version of Dolmathes. Some use meat, others wouldn’t think of it. Some use dill and mint, others swear by tomato and egg. There are almost as many versions as there are Greek grandmothers. Of course, I’m partial to my family’s recipe – a light, meatless little mouthful with [...] Read More…
