Better yet, drop in for a first-hand look while tasting our delicious new release.

Friday Update: July 18, 2008

The courtyard is full of activity with the pouring of cement and installation of underground utilities and the lawn drainage system. We are moving and compacting dirt near the Administration Building to prepare for landscaping. Currently, we are installing pavers to surround the lawns and tree beds. We are testing fire hydrants and sprinkler systems. Everything is up to code.

The hose stanchions have been installed in the Fermentation Building. Stone work along the foundation has been completed.

Hospitality Building exterior and interior stone application continues. Stair fabrication is underway. Window trim and base board installation continue on the second floor. Tile work continues in the bathrooms. The metal roof, the last roof to be mounted, has been installed. Elevator wiring should be completed by the beginning of August. The glass doors and frame work for the library wine room have been installed. The library wine room will house older vintages and will be viewable from the tasting room.

Painting is to be completed by the end of the week in the Administration Building. Now, we are preparing to lay down carpet on the second floor and anticipate completion by July 25th.
