By Damian Doffo I recently had the opportunity to join my father Marcelo and his wife María on the latest Doffo Tours adventure to Argentina. Although I have visited Argentina many times, I have always dreamed of sharing both our Argentine heritage and the world famous Mendoza wine country with our wine club members. The…
In the early days of of the tasting room there was only one very small place where we could hold wine tastings. I’m talking eight people was a crowd! I would help my Dad sell wine, but as I bussed glass and rang up customers, I’d have an ear listening to him recount the journey…

This Harvest season, I shared a very special moment with my 5-year-old son, Lucca. All day he had been asking and pleading to help us harvest that night. I was initially apprehensive about bringing him out in the middle of the night for a grueling night of labor. When the crew is in the vineyard,…
It’s incredible how a simple over-the-fence conversation with your neighbor can spark ideas that lead to a meeting, and eventually result in planting a vineyard at a local high school.

Wine bottles dipped in wax sure look good on the shelf, but can sometimes be tricky to open. Fear not! Watch Damian as he demonstrates how to open these bottles with relative ease using nothing more than a two-stage waiter’s corkscrew. It all starts with the corkscrew.

Harvest season is now entering its final stages. There are still a few vineyards hanging fruit. But it’s still within the normal time frame for them to develop their maximum sugars later in the season. This year’s harvest came rather early as we saw the first of the crop come in mid-August. That’s normal timing…

Going into the harvest season I had already made up my mind on challenging myself by producing an “in-house” Viognier, a first for our little winery. There must have been something…
