Safely returned from our 5,000 mile odyssey, broke, and homeless, or rather, tasting-room-less, we have hit upon a cunning plan to revive our fading fortunes; a pop-up tasting! Of course we can’t really do that, it would be illegal. One can’t just go around pouring wine. What do you think this is- the E.U.?! However, […]
We closed the tasting room July 1, 2022. We have removed the Napa syrah vineyard so Dad Arnie can retire. We have returned to our old website, after the Vinebase online sales platform website disaster. We are still in business, making and selling wine, with purchased grapes, as always. The 2022 Chardonnay and Sauv Blanc […]
July 2021 Great news! Bunter Spring has resumed tasting room operations. Our Carmel Valley tasting room is open Friday through Sunday 11-5 PM. We are open the rest of the week by appointment. Since we work often in Napa, at the winery and vineyard, we are not always available, so please call in advance if […]
THE BAD NEWS Our Carmel Valley tasting room remains closed to the public. We have created an outdoor tasting area and soon should have that operating, pending licensing. Until then, tasting is available to Wine Club members only, one small group at a time, by appointment. We are very sorry for this situation, but your […]
This vintage has been a real bummer. Bunter Spring lost its Monterey production space when our landlord sold to another winery, the tasting room in Carmel Valley has been closed since March because of Covid, and fires across California ruined much of the state’s winegrape harvest, especially in the areas where we work, Napa and […]
The 2018 vintage is looking good, with good yields on all but the Santa Cruz Sauvignon Blanc vineyard. It was a cool, moderate summer, with none of the hot spells that usually occur. That is good, but meant for a later than normal harvest, as we had to wait for the high acids in the […]
Visitors to the Bunter Spring Winery tasting room often tell us how beautiful our tulip label is and ask why we chose it for our wine. We usually top up their glass and tell them about our springtime wedding and the thousands of tulips planted the winter before our ceremony by Margaret’s brother Justin and […]
Harvest started again early this year, but it is lingering into mid-October, so Mark is as busy as ever. The wines are looking exceptionally good, including a new Monterey County Chardonnay, but more on that when it’s over and we can do a proper blog on all the wines in barrel. In the meantime, the […]
Spring has arrived on the Central Coast, and more visitors are coming up to Carmel Valley for the sunshine and warmth. We have some favorites we are pouring, like our 2014 Central Coast Kitchen Pink, a saignee rose that is perfect for patio sipping as the days get longer. We also have a new lineup […]
