Well, I sit down with a great Zinfandel and ramble a bit about winemaking, living in paradise and funny things that happen on the trail.Mike Loykasekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09135530056609540539noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223087500822258560.post-79123676221011386042007-01-29T20:50:00.000-08:002007-01-29T21:44:11.360-08:00<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hey there. Who ever said you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks hasn't met this cowboy. I just recently launched my redesigned website for <a href="http://www.darkhorsewine.com">Dark Horse Wine</a> and someone said "Mike, you need a Blog." I said "a WHAT??"<br /><br />Then I discovered that I could actually ramble on about winemaking, the goings on in the vineyards, funny things people ask me about winemaking and more... Basically, I realized "Whoa, Baby, this could get fun!"<br /><br />So, I hope you enjoy it along with me.<br /><br />For starters, I am a winemaker working in theDry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California. Dry Creek is known as one of the premier grape growing and winemaking regions of the world. And I feel lucky to be here. I have helped many wineries in the area make great wine and now I am making it under my own label.<br /><br />Why did I choose "Dark Horse"?
