Welcome to the Top of the Mountain, Morgan
Hey everyone!
I just graduated from Virginia Tech in May 2015 with a marketing degree and spent the last year in Charlotte, NC working for a company called Red Ventures (a sales and marketing company). I started out in phone sales and worked my way into a management role where I
managed a team of sales consultants. I gained lots of invaluable experience on the sales floor, but I realized over the past year that I wanted to focus my efforts towards marketing and events promotions.
I am excited to join the Bluemont Vineyard team and help grow our
brand, overall experience, as well as our wine club! I look forward to meeting everyone soon!
- Morgan Denfeld

2016 Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon
Winery Challenge. Our team is already 5 people strong, and we’re looking for more runners, joggers, and walkers to join us! There is a discount code for the first 8 runners who sign up, so first come, first served to get half off the registration fee! There will also be a Post-Race Wine & Music Festival after the race, so if that’s not incentive enough, I don’t know what is! Oh, and we’re making t-shirts, too! Sign up today:

Bluemont Vineyard Comes Down the Hill
This week we got our license to sell Bluemont Vineyard wine in the farm market. There will be a display case near the front door, so parents can grab a bottle for later as they herd their children to the car. We'll also be carrying MTO kombucha in the market, along with kale chips from LAJ Foods in Leesburg.
The asparagus is coming in nicely now. We're offering asparagus bouquets and chocolate-dipped strawberries for Mother's Day.
The strawberry fields are full of blossoms and young berries, so if we get some sunshine next week, we should be able to start picking in the middle of the month.
Happy Birthday to Farmer Jake!

Taylor and Morgan Hold Down the Fort
Everyone was at the Craft Brewing Conference in Philadelphia on Thursday, except Taylor and Morgan Hammer, who is back from college life at Costal Carolina. Morgan was having a Straw Ale / Tart Cherry half-and-half, with a few cider donuts on the side. "Are those doughnuts good even with beer?" I asked her. "No," she said. "I just really like junk food."
Here's Morgan with the new refrigerator -- the one that wouldn't fit through the kitchen door until Bruce took off the door frame.
More about the Philadelphia event:
"The Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) is the only industry event that serves both brewpubs and packaging breweries. This is an annual show that travels to different cities each year.
For professional brewers, CBC is the number one environment in North America for concentrated, affordable brewing education and idea sharing to improve brewery quality and performance. The conference is also a great social event with 10,000+ brewing industry professionals enjoying craft brews together. BrewExpo America® allows exhibitors and buyers to develop profitable business relationships and helps brewing and brewery restaurant professionals encounter the latest and best products and services that industry vendors have to offer."
