Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre pick scheduled for later this week. The fall weather is here and slowing the ripening a bit. The end of harvest is in sight

GM. . . Wine tank pump over. #mesmerizing #fermentation #good juice

Pump over time. Petite sirah at the peak of fermentation. We pump over the juice from below the “cap” to irrigate the wine over the top to make sure everything stays wet and fermenting evenly. This also allows for a little bit of oxygen and some of the fermentation heat to be blown off to help keep things cool.

Prune harvest is underway.

GM….Cab Franc for your wake up call. You are looking at a current temperature of 59 degrees and today is going to be clear and sunny with a high of 88 degrees.

Great size…we start our harvest of prunes tomorrow

Huge, soon many people will begin to own @strategy and not even know it

Good luck. There are safe havens close by but yes. Stay safe

Next generation of grape stompers in action. The Turkovich girls are showing their city boys cousins how work gets done at the winery. #family #kidsworking #farmlife

Always fresher at night. We even had a brief thunder storm with some wild lightning, just enough ran to knock the dust down, great way to welcome in September. #herecomesfall
