My dad is back in the studio!! And we’re talking all about a project we started earlier this spring with our vineyard.
In 2024, we experienced a devastating cold snap that wiped out 97% of grape production and killed thousands of vines across the Okanagan Valley. Like most vineyards, we started asking the question: what’s next? Well, to no one’s surprise, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work on a plan B, which led us to propagate our own vines in our greenhouse.
This was always part of the long-term vision, but the weather definitely sped things up. Of the 1,000 Pinot Gris plants we propagated, about 89% made it into the ground, and the results so far have been incredible.
This project has truly been the epitome of inspiration striking. We had a problem, saw an opportunity, jumped on it, and since then, it has continued to evolve. We’ve tested, improved, and learned along the way. As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep building on it.
And while we’re talking about vines, I think the same concept applies to any challenge or project you face. Because really... how hard can it be?
