Lawrence L “Buck” Cobb, president of Karly Wines, Plymouth,
Amador County writes: “After a late
start and cool spring and early summer, the weather has been perfect, even with
the recent week-long 100 degree-spell – it set the taste in Zinfandel! We are on track to start harvest at the
normal time after Labor Day."
” We dry farm, so who cares about water? Labor supply, now there is something to worry about.”

Buck adds this P.S.: "Incidentally, we just sold Karly winery to Turley Wine Cellars of St Helena. Karly and I are very happy to lay down the load and live a little after thirty-two years. This is a gain for Amador County.”
Just don't let them mess up Buck's 10 Point or Warrior Fires! Zin doesn't get much better then these two.
ReplyDeleteWith Turley operating the zin should remain good but how long before prices go up?
ReplyDeleteJust opened 1998 Warrior fires for Fathers Day, Hope this get's back to Buck, the wine was delicious, We spent some time together in Sarasota back in the day, on a ride with, my Dad and you shared the Same resume.
