This past week was relatively light for picking from our vineyard. We finished Riesling on Monday and picked Syrah on Tuesday from Copeland. The fruit looked great. We picked Syrah, Riesling and Cabernet Franc from Dineen.

Unfortunately, a lighter week last week means a crazy week to come. We should be picking Cabernet Franc, Merlot, more Syrah and will probably start picking Cabernet from an early site.

Matt has been busy getting the Chardonnay to barrel, inoculating Riesling and Syrah and getting ready to bring in bring more fruit.

We also sent out about 500 gallons of cold settled Chardonnay, Riesling and Gurty which will ultimately end up at a winery in Virginia. It will be fun, as it always is, to see how another winemaker crafts our fruit.

We have brought in 22.6 tons and have roughly 40 go for ourselves; not that we are counting or anything.

We have posted a video of crushing Copeland Syrah on our Facebook page. Check it out if you get the chance.
