Virtually here

Looking for a change of scenery in your Zoom meetings?  You found it!

Our weekly happy hours on Zoom have been really fun.  It is so great connecting with people over wine!  Seeing your photos from DuBrul Vineyard and Côte Bonneville as backgrounds is inspiring to us.

We wanted to return the favor, and inspire your virtual meetings as well.  Click on any of these images to download and transport yourself during your next Zoom.  The first two are Mount Adams from DuBrul Vineyard.  The third is an aerial view of the DuBrul.  The fourth is looking out over the Yakima Valley from DuBrul.  In the second row, there is a picture of the Train Station tasting room, followed by images from the Côte Bonneville Estate, built by Napoleon DuBrul.  The first is the house, as depicted on the Chardonnay label, followed by the Carriage House and an arbor in the yard.

See you Wednesday!

Even with great weather, there is variation and variability in any vineyard. One of the big sources of variability we see in the Yakima Valley is due to our large difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. These dramatic temperature swings are so important for grape quality, but they do mean that we have to manage the microclimates within the different parts of the vine.

It's incredible to think about now, but the beginnings of DuBrul Vineyard are not far removed from the beginnings of the modern Washington Wine Industry.
