The workweek is coming to an end...
Its been a bit of a crazy week between the weather, work and the wine at home.
Rain is not good for grapes at this time of the year do to a number of reasons: mold, botritis, breakage etc. Certain varietals are at more risk, in particular thin skinned and thick clusters, such as Zinfandel, Grenach and Pinot Noir. Cabernet Sauvingon is thick skinned with looser clusters, so it holds up well to the wet weather. We took in all the fruit that we could right before the weather came, and will be taking in much more as things dry up today and tomorrow.
On the homefront, things are also drying up... with the wine that is. I'll get some details up tomorrow. Work is calling, gotta run.
Also, this is my last day of the "late shift", so no more getting home at midnight!
