Probably five weeks away from first pick! We’ve got a nice spot cleared for a Photo Booth next weekend.

Tariff update: Bottles 55%. Barrels, Corks, and Yeast 30%. Napkin math that translates to about a $5-7 per bottle sales tax for us to just break even. Absolute mad king stuff.

Reaction to that chart when your upcoming French barrel purchase is in Euros.

We will be on @kxly4news.bsky.social this evening talking about the effects of tariffs on Washington wine producers.
And with that email from our barrel rep we could pay over $2,000/barrel when they show up now (vs $1,500).

Yes, we buy amazing fancy French barrels (because we love you), but that equates to a $1.66 per bottle increase in direct costs. Geesh.

(Bottle tariffs = $.75/each too)

The shipments have already started stopping in certain industries. Cars first, many more multinational industries later. Why would Apple not wait it out and save 54% shipping to their own stores?
Ordered this year's yeast today just in case we get hit with a trade embargo. The EU could mess up the wine industry right quick with a targeted embargo!

Turns out they will be much more expensive than anyone thought, especially with USD crashing vs the Euro!

Wine is the most globally interconnected industry around.
I ordered 20 French barrels in January (because I love you) and have no idea what they'll cost me when they land in August. A little April Fool's joke on myself.

Somebody enjoyed our 'worst demeanor' last night! (Gewürztraminer translate ftw!)

You make one post criticizing tariffs, geesh!

This would be the reason Twitter is dying. What is the purpose of these bot replies other than to piss people off?

Our Tahija Blanc de Blanc was a wonderful pairing with the oysters at Midtown Bluebird in Coeur d’Alene.
