If you visit the Lafond Winery Web site, there's a link to the Winery & Vineyard weblog, "California winery news by Lafond Winery and Santa Barbara Winery". They've been writing since the start of harvest in September, with a total of 42 posts so far.
I've read every one of those posts (something I try to do with every new winery blog I write about), but the format of the Winery & Vineyard blog makes it difficult (the monthly archives only post the first bit of each post for that month, and individual posts don't have a previous/next link - for an example of how it should work, take a look at the monthly archives and individual posts of this blog). It's always nice if a new visitor arrives on a particular post that they can move forward and backward easily - it makes your blog more inviting (along with interesting headlines).
Winery & Vineyard has lots of excellent picture (David Lafond appears to be an avid photographer). In fact, I really like the header graphic of their stainless steel Triage destemmer/sorter in use - "action shots" are frequently more appealing/interesting that static images. Of course, it would be great to have a post/story about that image as well.
Note: Lafond's sister winery, Santa Barbara Winery, also links to this blog, and it covers both wineries (Lafond appears to be reds, and Santa Barbara does the whites).
This is a solid initial effort, and I look forward to seeing how the Winery & Vineyard blog develops. In the meantime, we've added them to our list of of winery blogs.
