Rain, Rain, Go Away - Come Again Some Other Day

It's a wet harvest for Napa Valley vintners, and most wineries must leave the fruit on the vine and ride out the storm. We have picked all of our Chardonnay and most of our Cabernet Sauvignon, with the exception of Stagecoach Vineyard. That fruit will come in next week before the next big storm.

Mother Nature continues to keep Napa Valley vintners on our toes! The hard work doesn't stop with harvest, crushing the grapes is the next major undertaking and where the real fun begins.
