Beautiful and functional is my theme for the week. Railing is up, safety around the tasting pavilion #safetyfirst #beautifulandsafe #sandiegowine #sandiegowineries #highlandvalleywinecountry #highlandvalleywineries #miamarievineyards

An after dinner walk, a glass of wine in hand, and our children running in the sunset. Life running a family business is good #sunsetwalk #wineandsunset #sandiegowine #sandiegowineries #highlandvalleywinecountry #highlandvalleywineries #miamarievineyards

So I’m in to sharing the little things this week...this is our wall right outside our winery. Beautiful plants, an organized To Do list, and a trash can hidden inside a barrel (anyone else hate ugly trash cans). Functional and pretty #itsinthedetails #womeninwine #womeninwinebusiness #womenwinemakers #sandiegowine #sandiegowineries #highlandvalleywinecountry #highlandvalleywineries #miamarievineyards

There’s a real beauty to seeing all the hard work and efforts of a team come together on bottling day. Like the whole vine to glass experience of planting and growing grapes, harvesting, and crafting vintages in the cellar, bottling day showcases many moving parts coming together all at once. All that’s left to say, CHEERS!!! #miamarievineyards

Bottling day...dun, dunn, dunnnnnn! The labels were hot off the press this morning just in the nick of time. Bottling is a huge coordination of moving parts: wine must be filtered and ready to go, glass, labels, capsules, and corks need to all be ready because bottles are filled, labels affixed, wine corked and capsuled, and the finished product finally boxed. More pictures/videos coming soon! #miamarievineyards

Twilight...there’s something special about this hour. Tonight the wind was still, the animals were quiet, and you could feel the land breathe. Come join us soon...#miamarievineyards

Disgorgement of our rosé pét-nat. This delicious, bubbly delight made from 100% Tempranillo grapes fermented naturally (wild yeast). Looking forward to this beauty’s public debut soon #miamarievineyards

Pre-pruning sunset winter walk in the vineyard. The vines and their respective shapes speak a story about their year.

What is pét-nat? Pét-nat is a style of sparkling wine production. Unlike Champagne, which requires sugar and yeast to stimulate a second fermentation and produce bubbles, pét-nat works by bottling wine that is only partially fermented. As the sole fermentation continues in bottle, the carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot escape. The CO2 soaks into the wine as bubbles. The videos here show our disgorgement process for our Grenache Blanc pét-nat. #miamarievineyards

All that’s missing is the wine #miamarievineyards

Big week here at Mia Marie. We did blending trials on our Syrah, had over 10,000 lbs of glass delivered, filtered the rosé and Sauvignon Blanc, and our winery was featured in the @staytipsypod podcast (check it out!) Happy Friday indeed!!! #miamarievineyards

Our office for receiving guests = almost finished! Comes complete with a table for seated tastings (with a view), a tasting porch, and comfortable meeting desk. Still working on the finishing touches in this space but it’s close! #miamarievineyards

When we test out yet to be bottled wines, John brings them over the two hundred feet from our winery to the house in convenient containers. This 2019 Syrah has a beautiful, deep color and rich tanins. Still needs more time in the barrel and it’s fun to taste test along the way! # MiaMarieVineyards

Strolling our property and enjoying a glass of the yet to be bottled 2020 Rosé. The nose on this one, yum #MiaMarieVineyards

Winemaker Faith in action! #miamarievineyards

The barrels are here #MiaMarieVineyards

Beautiful sky, beautiful view #MiaMarieVineyards

End of harvest toast with our 2020 Sparkling Rosé Pét-Nat We have an amazing crew! #MiaMarieVineyards

Everyday, we go up to the future tasting deck and check the lizard pipe (among other things for those of us who work). Our kids often find a granite spiny lizard in the pipe, but not always. It’s a family affair, starting a winery business! #MiaMarieVineyards

All we need is the wine #MiaMarieVineyards

As a family run business, some nights one of us has class (or winery dishes!) and the other eats alone; the kids ate an hour ago. Which is fine. We are building something and feel lucky to live in such a beautiful space. We can’t wait to share it with you. Cheers!!! #MiaMarieVineyards

Round 2 of Pét-Nat bottling with our Grenache Blanc. Can’t wait for this to turn into a sparkling bottle of deliciousness! #MiaMarieVineyards
