Harvest Update

The weather has warmed up since last week, and for the last couple of days it has been HOT (broke 100 in Russian River Valley Monday and Tuesday). With all of the warm weather, everything has gotten ripe very quickly, almost "overnight"... It was just around 5 weeks ago when everyone was worried about nothing getting ripe. Anyways, grapes are coming in at a very fast pace at the winery, and by the looks of vineyards I drive past on the way to work (bins set out, portapotties, people acutally picking etc.), everybody is getting their fruit in now or very soon. We will be processing Pinot on our end every day this week and its going to be quite busy.... so far 25hrs worked over 2 days. Tired, need to crash....
