The Red Shorts are Off! Let the Rains Begin!

At 8:00am, Thursday, October 30, 2008, I took my red shorts came off and will keep them off from now until April 1st of next year. I have officially returned to jeans. Let the rains begin! On the very same day, Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 4:30pm, it began raining in Lodi, and, according to the weather report, it will continue to rain on and off for the next few days. Coincidence???? You tell me!

If you have yet to read about Lodi's great superstition regarding my red shorts, here's your chance. Just click on the little Red Shorts at the top of this page.

Happy Halloween!

I’ve been in the wine business since I was a little tyke
driving tractors around the farm with my dad, siblings, grandparents, aunts,
uncles, you name it! This industry never ceases to excite me. I’ve seen Lodi grow
from a small town in the “boondocks” to this hidden jewel that has become not
so hidden anymore. When I started selling
Peirano wine, my goal was to show the world the greatness of the Lodi
Appellation. It still amazes me that to
this day, most people don’t know that Lodi produces twice as much Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Sauvignon Blanc than Napa and Sonoma combined. That’s right folks…combined! I guess it doesn’t really matter since Lodi
has grown to make it’s own name for itself regardless of this bit piece of
trivia. It’s just been such an amazing
thing to witness.

Anyway, that being said, this is the very first blog post by
Peirano Estate Vineyards. My family
extends beyond my blood kin to include my loyal employees at Peirano Estate
Vineyards, which is why I’ve opened this blog to all of them for posts. Roger and Mike (Roger’s “mini-me”), our hardworking
sales guys, will periodically post blogs sharing their experiences from the
road. Mania AKA Manja AKA Maniac, our Marketing
Manager, will be the source for all your press updates and whatever else she
wishes to share. Deborah AKA “Mother Hen”
will post her thoughts on everything events related including charitable
functions that we hold dear to our hearts.
Don’t be surprised if she vents a bit about keeping all of us
hyper-active folks in line! We couldn’t
survive without her.

Please feel free to leave your comments. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Signing off,
