We’re Buggin’ Out at Peju
July 16, 2008 |
|
|
|
Bugs are on the loose...but not to worry, they’re in the vineyard. On Wednesday, July 16, a company of Nesbitt mites made their home in the Rutherford Vineyard with a little help from our expert vineyard crew.
The microscopic mites arrived to Peju on leafed bean branches that were placed by the vineyard crew throughout the canopies of the vines. Once the branches are nestled around the vineyard, the predatory mites leave and walk off into the foliage and leaves. When the mites find prey, or the “bad” vineyard insects, they begin to settle in, reproduce and eat the bugs that cause harm to our vineyard.
Unleashing these predatory mites into the vineyard allows Peju to utilize natural forces to stave off vineyard pests and forgo the use of harmful pesticide sprays. As part of our commitment to farm organically in the vineyard, look for Peju to implement many more creative and environmentally safe practices that will keep our vineyards in tip-top shape!

Peju was thrilled to serve as the location for the TVLand Channel’s original series “The Big 4-0” that aired in April, 2008. The Peju tasting room tower was converted into a buzzing TV set clad with cameras, costumes and even a horse and carriage as the show’s star, DeeAnn, celebrated her fantasy 40th birthday party with friends and family.
