reBlog from stsupery.com:

I found this fascinating quote today:

There is a vast array of wildlife at Dollarhide. Ducks, geese, egrets, cranes, owls, bees, jackrabbits, foxes and a bald eagle family can be found frequenting one of the seven lakes on the property which teem with large mouth bass. Our rattlesnake population helps keep the burrowing pest population from munching on the vine roots and eroding hillsides with their tunnels. It is not uncommon to see mountain lion or bear prints after a rain, a warning to deer who love to eat grapes and tender young vines.

“What is a Dollarhide,” you ask? Why, it’s the name of the 1500-acre vineyard that produces the grapes from which St. Supery Winery makes its deliciously noble wines. For more, I recommend checking out St. Supery Winery’s blog.
