Harvest Update, 10/6

Well if you live in northern California, you know what the weather's been like of late. We were initiated to the start of our RAINY FALL season this week. The rain has caused some concern with ripening pinot grapes up & down the coast, but not for our Viognier or Syrah grapes. thank god....

Picture above is of the BROKEN LEG VINEYARD up in Philo in Anderson Valley. Rain on our Viognier grapes needs to dry but if weather forecast holds we should be harvesting soon. The vineyard is on an unreal 60degree slope, it should make picking an adventure.

With the delays caused by the recent cool wet weather, we will be in crunch mode with all of the picks and crush for all of our grapes. Should be a crazy next few weeks, if you don't see any new blogs its cause we're knee deep in juice.

Can't wait to share more stories and pics with you all soon.
