LORING WINE COMPANY
2004 Vintage Wines
The theme for 2004 is "Vineyard Pets". We asked each grower to supply me with a photo of a pet or pets that they'd like to be used on the label.

2004 Llama Farm Pinot Noir

California

200 Cases

I was driving along HWY 246 the other day when I saw a sign that said "Llama Farm". I said to myself, "shouldn't that say Llama Ranch?" I decided to pull off the road to investigate. I met an elderly gentleman at the gate to the property and asked about his sign. He said, "It's not a ranch, it's a farm. We plant the bulbs in spring, their fuzzy little heads peek through the ground in mid-summer, and come October they're running around ready to go." Hmmmmmm... I guess you do learn sonething every day.
