The Renaissance Man has been talking about Maysara Winery for a while now. They’re known in wine country for their Demeter Certified Biodynamic Vineyard, and we just had to go check it out…wine tasting and land management practices, totally intriguing right? We visited over Memorial Day Weekend with a group including our neighbors and some friends from Portland!
Part One: Gravel Path Construction
Our back yard has been a big ‘ole mud pit all winter long. The Red Jory Soil that is sought after for growing pinot noir, has been making messes in my house and was starting to drive me a little crazy. After adding a shop in our back yard to store things (which made the mud problem even worse), I declared that the next project was to build a path. I told The Renaissance Man, “We must build our way out of the mud!”
I promptly purchased a can of Surveyors Paint and we started marking away. The Renaissance Man and I came up with a 4.5 foot path tight to the fence that would wrap around the shop at the top of our yard. Easy right?
