Winter Update

With the last few weeks of winter, we are still getting hard frosts, and some lovely sunshine. The first early plums have just started to flower. In the vineyard we are nearly back to normal. Pruning is all finished, but we are still cleaning up after the huge wet – fallen trees especially. Bud burst is still nearly a month away. This will probably be our last news letter.  We will rely on more frequent blogs to keep our many friends in touch with special offers etc.  No wines were produced this year because of the wet.  But looking to a great 2012 vintage.


In the Village


Glen Aplin hall this week end held a wonderful exhibition of quilting from the district. I 
am trying to persuade the ladies that it should be an annual event.  


Sponsorships
Last year our boat Ambar Blue suddenly lost power in the middle of Moreton Bay. To 
the rescue came the Manly Coast Guard. We are now proud to be sponsors.
