Grape Expectations
The warmer spring weather and extended daylight hours have
definitely translated into accelerated growth throughout the golf
course. This is evident in the initial growth of the drought tolerant
plants that were put in to replace those that did not survive the winter
frosts. However, this spring growth it is especially noticeable in our
vineyards as most of our vines are showing the onset of tiny green
grapes.
Again this year, Greg Maness of Maness Vineyards in Jamul, has
helped us formulate a detailed plan of action as we manage the
growth of our 1200 vines consisting of Sangiovese and Syrah grapes.
We have removed the ground level protective plastic sleeves from
around the plants as they are no longer needed. Next, each vine will
be given a small fertilizer application. Then we begin to train/attach
the tendrils which are currently growing upward from the cordons by
wrapping them around the upper wire. This third wire supports these
shoots so that they can provide an important protective canopy over
the grapes.
Eventually a fourth wire will have to be added for each row and
netting will need to be hung from this wire. This netting will protect
the grapes from being eaten by birds and other animals.
We will also formulate a summer and fall plan for what needs to be
done at the appropriate time. No doubt this is a lot of work for our
maintenance team but it is also very exciting. We look forward to the
day when we pop the corks of our first bottles of Steele Canyon vintage Sangiovese and Syrah wine.

Seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich on a Brioche Bun
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Orange (Juice & Zest)
1 Piece Ahi Tuna (4 oz)
1 Medium Tomato, thinly sliced
2 oz Ice Berg Lettuce, shredded
1 Brioche Bun
1/4 cup Wasabi
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
Kosher Salt & Black Pepper
Directions:
Prepare a hot, oiled pan - in a large bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, orange
juice & zest. Season the Tuna with salt and pepper and grill on both sides,
brushing on the glaze a few times. Grill only 2 - 3 minutes on each side to
keep rare. Meanwhile, build the sandwich by spreading Wasabi and
Mayonnaise mix on the bread. On the bottom piece, top with tomato slice,
season with salt and pepper, add tuna, lettuce and top piece of bread.
Slice on the diagonal and serve with your favorite chips. Picture below right
shows just how good this creation looks.
Menu Changes – Chef Calvin’s Report
The change in weather to the longer warmer days, signals the time to change some of the items on our current menu.
Shortly we will be adding some new seasonal dishes such as an Ahi Tuna Salad, an Ahi Tuna Taco Salad and a Seared
Ahi Tuna Sandwich.
If you have a favorite dish you would like us to consider, please stop by with your suggestion.

We invite you to try out any of our
tasty menu items on our beautiful
outdoor bistro on your next visit to
the club.
Maintenance Report – Antonio Osuna
Vineyard Work
For the last month, my team has been working on our vineyards in preparation for this years’ crop of grapes. We
have trimmed all the plants by removing the excess vines that are growing out from the bottom of the vine trunk
under the first wire. We also had to cut out the old vines that were there from last year to help promote new growth.
As a result, every plant is loaded with fresh young vines and leaves.
An application of TriTek spray was also recently done. This is an organic oil emulsion of fungicide and insecticide that
prevents the appearance of white powdery mildew and eliminates unwanted pests. Our next step is to do a compost
fertilizer application that is high in potassium and then slightly increase the watering cycle as the temperatures warm
up. If you walk the vineyards right now, you will see many grapes are already growing.
Other Golf Course Projects
Once we are done
with this vineyard
work, we will go
back to our mulch
projects that are
on the Ranch and
Canyon courses.
All of these areas
should be nearing
completion by the
e n d o f t h e
summer. Once
again thank you all
for your support
a n d p o s i t i v e
comments about
the condition of
our golf course.
They mean a lot to
me and the
maintenance team.
