My whole body aches, and I can barely keep my eyes open, but we had such a great I just had to put some photos up! We finished our biggest vineyard today after two days off! It rained pretty hard on Thursday night so we couldn't pick Friday since the grapes were soaked. Saturday was, according to the bio-dynamic calendar, not a good day at all to pick, so we held off until today.
It started out quite cold! Everyone headed back to their cars to get jackets and sweaters, and then later on the sun came out and by lunch time we were all hot! Friends kept arriving all at different times all in all we must have been about 20. It was a great crowd, we did some 
good work, had a wonderful lunch and then had to try hard to motivate to finish it up. We persevered despite the rosé and beer that was consumed at lunch! Here's a few fun shots, more to come, I promise! For now, we are looking at a very very very small crop, probably only half of what we normally make! But the fruit is just beautiful, and I think it will make some pretty good vino!
