You see the bumper stickers all the time. "Who Rescued Who?" referring to adopting a rescue animal and finding that they've done as much (or more) to restor...

I'm not a huge fan of insects, but I know how critical many of them are for our food suplly. What I didn't know is how important they also are for great wine!

Ciel du Cheval - Vineyard knows this. They have a native plant reclamation area that isn’t just for show; it plays a crucial role in creating a thriving ecosystem. By restoring native flora, they provide a secondary habitat that encourages beneficial insects, enhancing biodiversity and promoting healthier vines. 🐝🌻

Why does this matter?
• 🌎 Eco-Friendly Farming – Reducing the need for pesticides naturally by letting nature take the lead.
• 🐞 Happy Insects, Healthy Vines – A balanced ecosystem protects the vineyard from harmful pests.
• 🍷 Better Wine – Healthier vines lead to grapes that express the unique terroir of Red Mountain in every glass.

When you sip wine made from the fruit of Ciel du Cheval, you’re not just supporting world-class winemaking—you’re investing in sustainable practices that preserve our land for generations to come. Here are just three of the many wineries where you can taste wine made from this vineyard.

Looking for something fun to do after Thanksgiving? Check out the Tri Cities Holiday Expo ! For a $7.00 ticket, you get admission for BOTH DAYS (Friday and Saturday) which includes a free shuttle ride from the parking lot to the front door on our horse-drawn wagon! Once you're inside, you can visit local vendors and attend some great classes! (Yes, our own Cowgirl booth will be there with goat milk soaps, goaty cards, and some of the hats we've burned and decorated.) It's like we've packed up the farm and hit the road except we aren't bringing the actual goats. (It's just as well, they really aren't much into shopping.)
Bop on over to the Uncorked Cowgirl page and check out the goodies we'll have!

We have a rule around here that we don't bust out the jingle bells until the day after Thanksgiving. Just a few more days and we'll have the wagon decorated, the horses decked in poinsettias, and the jingle bells on the harnesses! Jeff is cutting Christmas trees as I write this, and it's snowing in the mountains!
Bring the family out and enjoy the holiday season!

Shop local this holiday season! We've been busy making goat milk soaps and lotions and scrubs! They make great gifts and stocking stuffers! (Plus, I mean, goat milk soap might be just what your skin needs in the winter months!)
