We are very pleased that we have already had many repeat customers and requests to be on a list for future vintages. It has been a long, hard and very expensive road, but seeing the pleasure on people's faces when they first taste the wine makes it all worth it. We are also very proud of the County and are committed to producing only 100% County grown wines. WHY "LONG DOG"? I grew up with dachshunds. James gave me a wire-haired dachshund puppy for my 30th birthday and was soon devoted to the breed as well, as was Steven. Otto died suddenly of heart failure in 1998 (we were all devastated) and his ashes are buried under the first Pinot Noir vine planted in 1999. We then acquired Ben, a beautiful big red wire-haired dachshund sadly killed by a speeding car. The current dachshunds-in-residence are Bella and Fanny. Calling the vineyard "Long Dog" just made us smile.
