It’s last day of Movember, check out my tribute video to my Harvest Beard….

Well, we start today on a bit of a somber note, Steve Jobs passed away yesterday.. I’ve never been a big Mac guy, mainly cause they never had a right click on the mouse.. With that said the man was an incredible visionary, Edison, Graham Bell, Jobs, he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of innovators/creators… Little update on the wines, it was 5.1 Brix today, we’ll be draining off two barrels worth and I’ll get a video later today talking about that.

This is real time video work people, I’m on my game today.. This is us processing our “Turn in the Road” Sauvignon Blanc that we picked today!!! 23.7 Brix, 3.35 pH Perfect numbers for a delicious SB.

HARVEST DAY!!!! Really cool video here, I got some good shots of the pick and gives you an idea of what it’s like to harvest an old vine zinfandel vineyard, but in reality no idea at all #hardwork.  The processing went great on the 26th, we hand sorted individual berries for a really clean finished product, this makes about 4 different tiers of sorting and I couldn’t be happier with how the grapes look in the tank.  I’ll be kicking the ferment off in about a week so stay tuned, also our Sauvignon Blanc harvest will be this Friday so stay tuned for more good stuff.. As always send me any questions via tumblr, twitter or my email.. 

Cheers,

Another video, damn straight, and another video from another one of our new vineyard locations (actually two).. Up in Lake County at the Big Valley AVA as well as the Red Hills AVA.. The soils didn’t come through quite as vivid as I had hoped but they are as red as they come.

BAM!!!! Let the videos continue, here’s a shot from Lodi at our newest vineyard, “Hunter’s Oak,” where we’ll  be getting our 2011 Grenache from.. Enjoy the video and feel free to comment…

PS - I love the opening picture in the video of me, please no jokes.
