Harvest Rushes Forward
Harvest is moving along at a fast clip. Last Friday we had St. Peter’s Church Zinfandel come in, unexpectedly, I think. I got an answer of ‘no’ when I asked if anyone would be working in the cellar over the weekend, but when I rolled in a little before 10 on Saturday, the door was up and forklifts zipping by. They were hard at work Sunday, for part of the day anyway. And this week we’ve seen trucks driving in, full of grapes, as we watch from the tasting room window. You can smell it in the air, and it gives me much-needed energy in the mornings, especially walking through the cavernous barrel room.
As I was heading to the back of the building to retrieve some score printouts from the marketing offices, I saw John and Kevin hard at work with the Snows Lake Zinfandel and ran back to my desk to get the camera. Sadly, I’ve been too busy to get any really good shots, but I’m hoping once I get moved, I’ll be able to roll up my sleeves and join in.

This is really cool Farley, it’s fun to read about the various harvest activities going on there at the winery. Hopefully you’ll be able to give more in-depth reports after this weekend!
