While the picnic deck at Mill Creek Vineyards is hard
to beat, just down the road you will find stunning
redwood vistas, a gurgling creek, bird's-eye views
of, well, birds, free-roaming cattle, wildflowers,
moss-draped oaks, historical names and places, and
vineyards. From Westside Road (near Hop Kiln Winery)
to Armstrong Woods State Park, Sweetwater Springs
Road has a lot to offer on its winding route over
Mount Jackson. - Katherine Radcliffe

Well the secret is out... we live such a rough life
here. Late in February of this year I woke to find
the walls of my bedroom a magnificent shade of pink.
Although it is hard to confuse me for a morning person,
I managed to grab my camera and stumble into the
front yard. I am sure glad I did! - Brian Kreck

The staff and visitors to Mill Creek this Passport
had a great time. We enjoyed grilled CK Lamb and
introduced Mill Creek's first-ever Reserve Merlot.

As spring arrives, many of the plants in Sonoma County
begin the next round of growth. These trees have
lined the Mill Creek drive for almost thirty years
and remain one of the many attractions at Mill Creek.

AND WE ARE OFF - - - AND PICKING!
|
Friday, August 29, 2008 we started harvest by picking the young-block Sauvignon Blanc. This was exactly one week later than the same block last year. With great numbers, Jeremy is a happy winemaker! Next came the old block of Sauvignon Blanc this morning. The Gewurztraminer will follow in a few days.
For you lovers of Gewurztraminer – get the 2008 early, because it is another very short crop. Gewurztraminer is one of those grape varieties that is not reliable in set from year to year. Many varieties, most in fact, seem to be light this year. However, often these years light in fruit are the best in quality. 2008 is still a guesstimate, but so far, it looks like a real winner!
If you want to actually see harvest, come soon. The work in the winery will be persistent until at least Thanksgiving, but the grapes may all be picked by the first of October.
