La Mesa Vineyards

This morning. As I walked the Petite Sirah rows, amongst the freshly disced cover crop, puffy clouds from our last little rain fading to blue skies... I was pulled back to long ago memories...riding rollercoasters as a child. The pushing vines racing on the steep hill with such dizzying beauty at my sides. #littlestories #littlestoriesofmylife #winelife #winemakerslife #californialife #livinglife #lifeandtime #memories #morningwalk #morninglight #vineyardvines #vineyardviews #vineyard #lamesavineyards

Thinking of what to do this weekend? Join us Saturday afternoon for our Live Music on the Terrace series with duo Garcia and Medina. Incredible acoustic guitar and voices, and great weather promise a fabulous day. Reserve your spot on our website link in bio. https://www.garciaandmedina.com/ #weekendfun #thingstodo #amadorwinecountry #wineworld #winetasting #wineandmusic #californiafun #californiawineries #tastingroom #sippingwine #lamesavineyards

Thanks Garcia & Medina for being with us today! Amazing duo with a lucky break in the weather while enjoying wines.

Our Primitivo Rosé grapes at harvest are crushed and immediately pressed with <1 hour skin contact, just long enough to get a light rosé color extracted and some characteristic skin flavors imparted. It is then fermented dry (no residual sugars) at cool winery room temperatures in tanks and we do secondary malolactic fermentation. We patiently let it age a year in tanks to give it enough time to naturally settle before bottling it up. #rosé #wine #springmood #wineandmusic #lamesavineyards

Fuji apples. A nice sharp cheddar. Warm fresh bread. Perhaps a smear of butter. And a glass of wine.... Sitting in the orchard. As the Fuji tree spills its petals. All around. #moments #momentsofmine #floralmoments #underthefloralspell #flowerseverywhere #worldinbloom #appleblossom #fujiapples #orchard #eden #lamesavineyards See more

The tasting room was a wonderous bustle yesterday. And after the bustle. As the day slipped away. A sunset. And a glass of Gamay.... #sunset #californiasunset #californiaskies #californiawine #amadorwine #winewinewine #makingwine #wineworld #welcometomyworld #whereiam #here #lamesa See more

While election uncertainty continues, the last harvest calls...a bonus crop of Gamay from our grafting project. So looking forward to seeing how Amador's very first Gamay turns out. As the grapes were plucked from their vines this morning, it was a kind reminder to always seek light. Even in troubled times. #seekingbeauty #seekinglight #chasingdreams #californiadream #californiawine #wineworld #whereistand #here #welcome #lamesa

There it stands. Amongst the blushing vines. A tasting room. A dream come true. #lamesa #winemakers #dreamchasers #welcometomyworld

Syrah. It lends itself so gracefully. To all the bounty of autumn. #redwine #finewine #beautifulwine #syrah #welcometomyworld #wineworld #lamesa

There was a lovely surprise waiting for me as I walked the vineyard this morning... A generous second crop of our first Gamay! It seems quite happy here at La Mesa. Weather permitting, we most certainly will harvest it very soon! #welcometomyworld #wineworld #makingwine #makingdreamscometrue #californiadream #californiawinecountry #amador #california #grapes #wine #thisisus #lamesa
