So  what does the staff at AVV do on their day off during harvest? 

If you're Western Regional Sales Manager, Stewart Vandenberg, you're probably out in the family vineyard.

Stewart and Wendy Whipp own and farm a small Zinfandel vineyard on Lytton Station Road outside of Geyserville.  While most wine drinkers have a romantic vision of owning a vineyard, Stewart and Wendy can tell you the real story - it takes alot of time and hard work to harvest great fruit.

Today, he happily reported that they started picking.   Stewart made this observation about his volunteer crew:    " Average age 55 - talk about late harvest! "  We had to chuckle...

Picking is slow and methodical, but they're still smiling.  So are we, when this crew finishes, the grapes will head over to AVV.
