Every year about now we realize just how fast time flies.  The grape harvesters are all ready to pick, the semi-trucks are warming up to haul grapes to the winery, and everyone involved is saying goodbye to quality family time and long nights of sleep.

Yep, it’s grape season.  Again. Didn’t we just finish it?

The early white varieties will begin sometime in the next few weeks and by the beginning of September we will be in full harvest mode.  By October, we will be ready for it all to be over!

It’s always an exciting time and everyone gives 100% to ensure the harvest goes well.  It is one of the most important steps in the vine-wine process, so the pressure is on!

Stay tuned for more updates on Harvest 2008!
