It's harvest time! And... We Have a name!!



We have chosen the name CAST Cellars  after much exploration. Cast is an old word
which has a slightly contemporary feel, compact and easy to pronounce and remember. Casts are
used to create sculpture and long-lasting products and to bring about repetitive quality – great
wines, vintage after vintage! The term also evokes an appreciation of the cast of characters 
needed to grow our grapes and make our wines, including you, our investors who provide the
capital. Last but not least, we are reminded every morning here, when the fog lifts and the view
materializes out over our vineyards, of the spell this place cast on us when we first saw it! 

Harvest update:
warm sunny days and cool nights. Testing is occurring almost daily now on all of our vineyards as Mike
tastes the grapes and measures the sugar content. Our first harvest and cellar crush has now been
tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday the 12th – our Sauvignon Blanc from El Diablo Vineyard.
