We're on day 3 of Harvest...Pinot, Pinot, and Pinot!!
Things have been running fairly smoothly, and we're off to a great start to what will be the biggest Harvest we've had! I tasted the juice of the Pinot from Los Amigos - and even as basic grape juice it's got awesome flavor :)
We've got a small crew running our crush - and if you watch them, it's almost a cross between organized chaos, and a perfectly rehearsed dance. Truck pulls in, Jesus pulls the bins off and weighs them, Greg dumps the fruit into the de-stemmer, Jon moves back and forth from the line to his lab, Josh and Alex shovel stems and tighten hoses, and Jason oversees it all. Over and over again....
If you have any free time over the next couple of months, try to stop by and see what we're up to! There aren't many places where you can actually see first hand how the process works!
Cheers,
Kate
