We had 3 wonderful days of picking that spanned 3 weeks. The weather cooperated better than usual. Here's an inventory of what we collected:
Kelsey Pinot - 6 barrels
Sophie Pinot - 6 barrels
Estate Tempranillo - 2 barrels (yeah!)
Marechal Foch - 1 barrel (hooray!)
Pinot Port-style - 2 barrels (ooooohhhhh)
Muscat - 300 gallons - ~130 cases
I am really excited about the future of trying these out as they mature. Now for a round of thanks.
