It's official - we've celebrated with our Harvest Party, now the hard work begins.....

Saturday, we celebrated the start of harvest with AVV's annual Harvest Party.  Wine lovers got their chance to see what it is like to harvest ripe fruit, crush a little and then enjoy the rewards.  It was a great kick off to the what looks to be a good harvest. 

Kevin Hall writes:  "Next week is going to explode.  We will bring in the Pinot, Sangiovese for rose', some Zinfandel and start Chardonnay.  Everything looks great and has been hovering at the same maturity level.  We have had a few days of heat and this week end is supposed to be warm so everything is going to jump.  So far acidity is up which keeps those bright fruit flavors up front."
