1. Viticultural and Enological Services

2. Our tendency is to be
interested in something that
is growing in the garden,
not in the bare soil itself.
But if you want to have a
good harvest, the most
important thing is to make
the soil rich and cultivate it
well.
Shunryu Suzuki

4.  Soil and tissue analysis is the basis of sound fertilizer recommendations that
result in higher fruit quality.
 Pest and disease severity is reduced when vines are in a healthy
physiological condition.
 Proper and appropriate fertilization results in wine grapes and wines that
have a deeper character and expression of the site.
 Cultural practices performed throughout the growing season are equally
important. An emphasis on the biological cycles and relationships occurring
between the plants and soil constituents is the basis of “terroir”.
 Site selection, as well as rootstock /scion selections, also play a significant
part in the expression of distinctive regional flavor characteristics. The
primary objective is to fine-tune the above to achieve the highest quality
wine grapes possible for a particular site.

10.  “Our vines have flourished under his care and the quality of our grapes
has continued to improve.”- Bob & Linda Klein (Klein Family Vineyard)
 “In the early 1990’s I had the opportunity to begin working with Deny
Dudzik; walking vineyards, asking and answering questions, to get the
winemaker’s perspective on what they wanted and what needed to be
accomplished in the vineyard. He knew wine quality, I knew soils, pests
and diseases, and we both knew that soil quality is paramount. For over
15 years we combined our knowledge to produce many fine wines,
using sustainable or organic methods. There are many who know
viticulture, and many who know winemaking, but few with Deny’s
knowledge of both. ’’- Gregg Young, CPAg
