Harvest Report 4

It was back out to the San Lucas Vineyard yesterday to fetch three tons of Chardonnay. There I met Andrew, a college intern, who issued me my weigh tag and helped me tie down my grapes. He's hoping to get into Cal Poly's Wine and Viticulture program. I was impressed to learn he carries copies of lectures in his truck to study during the slow times. He was even kind enough to give me a copy of his notes!

Before I left, Andrew asked me if I I planned to go back up that hill. I said, "How did you hear about that?" "I read your blog." He said. Andrew went to our website the day before to learn about the winery that was buying the grapes. The kid did his homework. He's gonna do just fine at Cal Poly.

I got the Chardonnay pressed to a tank and we'll barrel it down tomorrow. Today we are going to kick off the Viognier. Vino, yay!
