Summer Solstice

Today is the summer solstice, the first day of summer and the longest day of the year and the most daylight hours to enjoy wine in the vineyard!! We had a group take advantage of those extra hours today. They arrived at Staller Estate Winery around 7 after enjoying their fish fry right across the street at The Duck Inn. Though we close at 6 we were outside tending to the vineyard and flower beds. I always tell customers that if they see us out in the vineyard, to stop in, we are always happy to open. This was a group of six loyal local customers that wanted to continue to have a night-cap in the vineyard. They started with a quick tasting at tasting bar, Blanc de Crescent, Horizon Cuvee, Release 4 were a few of the glasses that we poured, oh yea, a Ice Wine too. Our Ice Wine was especially popular, chilled ice cold and very refreshing as an after dinner wine, especially on the first day of summer! We still have a little Ice Wine available, but not much. The group enjoyed their wine among the vines until around 8. It was a beautiful evening, slightly humid but cooler with a swift breeze and great wine, the perfect first day of summer!
