| Stories | If you want even more precise information on where we are and what is going on in the vineyard at any time you can view our vineyard weather station online by clicking here. The web cam that is pointed out at the vineyard stops taking pictures when it gets dark, but the important thing is that you can see what the weather is doing to the vines any time. For those of you who like to play with Google Earth there is a fairly recent satellite picture available online . We are fairly certain that this picture was taken in July or August 2007 because the lake in our backyard is in pretty good shape and the grass is green only where the irrigation system is operating.

| About
Stesher Krommer Vineyards: The Vineyard was named during our first crush in October of 2003. It was late on that sunny Saturday afternoon and all who had helped pick the grapes and get them ready for fermentation were present and presently intoxicated. Plenty of wine was about and much was consumed. We were all VERY happy. Late in the day someone asked me how wine was made and I told them the story of how you first pick the grapes and then run them through a stesher krommer….and there was my fatal mistake. Rather than pronounce the name of the device correctly as a stemmer crusher, I stumbled through pronouncing it instead as a stesher krommer and increased the injury to my infant vitricultural reputation by repeating the error at least three more times that day. Well all sorts of commotion broke out over my repeated slip of the tongue and our friends decided then and there that the name of our vineyard and winery was to be Stesher Krommer from then on. |
