Gerry, an Atlantic Green turtle, was stranded during a mid
80’s hurricane. After his capture, he became too
friendly with humans making it unsafe for him to be released. Hence, he lives
in a 20,000 gallon tank where he interacts with the public and eats lettuce.
Gerry has met both Johnny Carson and David Letterman.

| Grapes left over after Feb/June harvest |
After years of working in the Texas oil fields, Mr. Jaber began his dream of a vineyard in 2009 to prove great wine can become a reality in the Valley. Cattle, horses, sheep, ducklings share his 200+ acreage. We wine-tasted his red and his white wine - produced from 100% of his grapes creates a dry and unique taste.
