The 2022 harvest is officially complete! That's not to say that the press deck staff is on vacation, but the picking of grapes has been completed and the 61st harvest is now safely stored in the tanks. Winemaker Jeff Murphy is particularly enthusiastic about the '22 vintage of Pinot Noirand we will report more on that in the future. FLIGHT, our outdoor wine and charcuterie dining venue, is closed for the season and will reopen next spring.
The cooler weather and fall foliage (yes, that's a photo from Fred's drone) that have finally arrived reminds us that autumn is here - time for red and mulled wines, organizing our holiday plans, and making those gift lists. Stop by our Gift Ideas page for inspiration!
Happy Fall!
Jennifer & Fred Johnson

AUTUMN TREATS - CHOCOLATE OR QUINCE PASTE?!
With Halloween just passed, you might be thinking of chocolate, or perhaps you've had your fill of candy! We're thinking of quince and cheese since it is time to pick this Estate-grown fruit to make Quince Paste. This "sliceable jam" is the perfect pairing for cheeses and wines and is also great on toast. We love it on sharp cheddar paired with Dry Rosé of Pinot Noir or Ruby Dry Rosé, but any cheese plus quince "tastes like candy" to us!
PS - For chocolate lovers: Johnson Estate has four different dark chocolate bars made for us by Anette's Chocolates - now's the time to try the Dark Chocolate Cabernet Truffle Bar!
TASTING ROOM OPEN DAILY 10am-6pm Celebrate fall with mulled wine & dessert pairings.
