Since our first planting in 2013, a number of close by owners in Tombstone Heritage Ranch have also planted similar grapes to the ones we have planted. So here we are now we have our 3rd year of planting. We will continue to add several hundred plants each year to our 3 vineyards increasing in volume the wine grapes that we find do the best and produce the quality of wine Karen and I have become accustomed to. We now have more than a year of experience in making our own wines from grape juice of many varieties that we are considering offering in the future in our Tasting Room and pictured here is one of our first for home consumption Rieslings we produced.

Following are a couple of pictures of our first planted vineyard name Hofmann Vineyard a totally solar powered vineyard with year around guest house. The 2nd picture has our son Lane and wife Danielle along with their sons Adam and Evan Hofmann. This was our planting crew that helped Karen also pictured do the 2014 planting. Turns out that Adam and Even are excellent equipment operators used to make the planting holes and set the posts that hold the grape arbor wires. Our son Curtis and wife Maureen with their children Bill, Ryan and Kathryn while not being able to help with the planting due to school schedules in Pennsylvania helped prepare the planting areas in both 2013 and 2014 including the irrigation lines underground. It turns out that all our grandchildren having lots of practice playing games on their Xbox are very precision operators of the controls on the backhoe. I guess our granddaughter Kathryn has also now proved that a backhoe is not only a boys toy, but quite good for girls as well.
