As Mary Poppins somewhat boldly announces, she’s practically perfect in every way. Well, Pretty Lady grapes are entirely perfect in every way. Don’t believe us? Well, then, you’ve just admitted to never having tried one! We recommend you rectify that travesty toot sweet! (Tout suite if you’re fancy…or simply French.) But, if you’re one of […]
It’s time to celebrate the spookiest time of year, Dulcich-style, because Harvest Hobgoblins have arrived. Delicious, crisp, and wrapped in the coolest, hobgobliniest packaging you ever did see, Hobgoblins are crisp, juicy, and a perfect antidote to fall’s resident Big Man on Campus, the ever unsubtle Mr. Pumpkin Spice. Hobgoblins come in red, green, and […]
Did I get your attention with that snazzy headline? Probably…um…no. The only thing more tired and out of date than the term “snazzy” is a clickbait headline. Also tired and out of date?

This is kind of silly, right? We’re about to give you a “bunch” of reasons why grapes should be a recurring character in the sitcom that is any modern household kitchen.

Sometimes it feels like being part of a cool-kids club that’s in on the latest secret… “Sure, everyone loves them, but have you tried them frozen,” you whisper to your aunt/friend/neighbor/Zoom meeting host. Every summer the simple, yet somehow still exclusive, hot (ice cold?) tip gets passed around, and anyone who follows it is instantly […]
We all have a favorite variety of grapes…right? Whether it’s green, red or black, (or maybe even all 3) one variety is always the go-to and preference. From the tartness of the green grapes, to the sheer sweetness of the red grapes, something about these little berries makes them such an enjoyable snack. But did […]

Californians have been cultivating grapes for almost 200 years. That might seem like a long time, especially to those of us who, every so often, might feel like even certain work weeks take forever and a day (😂). But in the grand scheme of things, our state is actually fairly new to the grape-growing business. […]

At Pretty Lady Vineyards, we find great joy, luck, and prosperity come from working with grapes throughout the year.

At Pretty Lady Vineyards, we know that grapes have long been revered as a healthy snack the world over, and we love […]

We acknowledge there are some things that should always remain constant and true, but we’re big advocates for switching […]

We’re just gonna come right out and say it. Sometimes there is nothing better than an alcoholic beverage after a long day. Better yet: after a particularly hard week. Grapes (and other fruit, for that matter) are a great addition to cocktails, beers, and other beverages. They can add subtle boosts of flavor without being […]
