Greetings!

Welcome 2012 --- though we just had the cold blast in Northeast, there is no doubt that it's been a mild winter so far. We still had a number of dandelion flowers in our yard, and I believe they are still there after the lake effect snow and the cold morning in the single digit!

The One and The Only...
 

As the New Year rolled in, Thorpe Vineyard on the Lake has become the one and the only Thorpe Vineyard in the world. It was a fun and exciting experience to have the satellite store, on the Ridge. We met many new people, especially when we hosted the events out there during the past two seasons. I thought however, that consolidating our effort at one location would be a better choice for my operation. So there is one and the only Thorpe Vineyard here on the Lake again. Come out for a walk on the Chimney Bluffs, then stop by for a casual talk with a glass of wine grown and made right here on the shore of Lake Ontario.



Sincerely,

Fumie Thorpe and the Crew
