Schweiger Strong — Family and Future after the Glass Fire

October 23, 2020Harvest

Dear Friends… We can’t thank you enough for all of your prayers and support over the past few weeks. The Glass Fire presented us with some truly unforeseen challenges. Despite the stress and fragility of the situation, everyone on our team rose to the occasion with composure, positivity, and determination. We’re always proud of our Schweiger Vineyards family, but the Glass Fire added another level of admiration and gratitude for our people. We want to give our account of the events that unfolded in order to fully express how thankful we are and to explain the current status and future of our vineyard, tasting room, and wine.
