It&#8217;s not easy being Green. It&#8217;s even harder being Native. Tell it to Sitting Bull. That doesn&#8217;t stop us from fighting the good fight here at Two Terrier Vineyards. We are blessed with a unique piece of land. Unique mostly because it was neglected for probably hundreds of years.

He&#8217;s the man who&#8217;s making us take a closer look at our place in the food chain.

Something about oncoming Spring in Sonoma makes me get a little more serious about my final vision for Two Terrier Vineyards.

Living in a semi-arid state at the end of a three year drought, most of us want that rain to keep on coming. But it was nice to have a two day break. Yesterday was sunny and warm, definitely Springlike.
