Merry Christmas From ‘Chateau Lightner’

On the Contrary
Wine Induced Musing by Steve Lightner
On The Contrary
On the Contrary is an irreverent look at current events and the conventional wisdom being promulgated by the media and the conservative masses. I write this with a glass of wine firmly clutched in my hand so that I always have an excuse for my aspersions. "The wine made me do it." EnjoyVine/Wine Friday
Each Friday when I have something to add about the Vineyard or Wine, and political events have not totally distracted me from the truly important things in life, I will write about the progress in the vineyard, some information on making wine, and of course, about great wines or cuisine I have experienced.
Lightner Vineyards is a small 3 acre vineyard near Camino (Apple Hill) California where I grow Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Viognier, and Counoise and produces about 5 tons of grapes each year. It is at an elevation of 3000' taking advantage of a longer growing season and cooler nights.
