Dec 22nd
Birthday party for Carles. Ada Lou and Zev got to visit the farm. Zev had a solstice bonfire. Ada Lou did her spin dance. About 1/3rd of the Gewurtz is pruned. Warreln felled a large fir for the main beam in the cava: about 2400 lbs; 24" at the butt. Less than 1/2 a percent of our timber resource.

December 19th
Web site is redesigned and the changover begun.

November 6th
Wine making & bottling starting up.
Redesigning this web site.

October 30
Finished harvest. The Foch tree produced about 70 lbs; should be enough for a case. Working on the cava all month. Working on integrating website with Facebook with our Wordpress blog.


This kind of data is now going to be in a blog. Probably in this left pane of a window.
There will be about 10 blogs incorporated with the web site so that different people can edit parts of the site.

Welcome to the Godfrey Brownell Vineyard web site.

We are a 60 acre farm with 12 acres of active grape production and another 4 acres of experiments plus 30 acres of a sustainably managed forest.

We grow Chardonnay. Foch. Pinot Noir. Gamay Noir. Pinot Gris and Bacchus. On our second farm, we also grow Gewürztraminer(traminer aromatique) and a little Merlot.

In addition to grapes, we grow squash, figs, trees for timber and ornament, apples, pears and most of the vegetables we eat during the year.

At the moment, we rebuilding this web site, but all the links should still work. One addition will be a series of blogs covering: the Koksilah Valley, winemaking, vineyard description & history etc, etc.

A sample of the new Blogs is here , in a new tab. It shows information about wineries, restaurants and organizations in the Valley.

And were still having fun!

Farewell to Carles.
