I've been trying to figure out how to balance the blog and our new Facebook page (twelvewine). Can't figure out if I should just double post or try to create original content for each place. The latter is going to be extremely hard, so some variation of the former is going to have to happen.
In that spirit, Let's get up to date on harvest. Weather over the last couple of weeks has really been helping. Our canopy is still mostly green and the birds haven't made too big of a dent, so we're looking forward to letting the grapes hang out there as long as we can. You'll see lots of picking over the next week, because the weather forecast starting next weekend is ugly. We're going to try and pick as late in the week as possible. One thing we've learned is that if you wait long enough in Oregon the weather forecast tends to change. Maybe next weekend will just be a one-off storm - we'll see.
Looks a lot like 2008 out there - smaller than normal crop, good flavor formation, nice brown stems, just waiting to see if we can get a little more sugar.
