ON THE FARM
Harvest Update: 
At this time of year, what one notices in the vineyards is that the grapes are beginning to change color - that's called "veraison".  The vines have begun to put their energy into ripening the grapes, as indicated by the colors of pale yellow and purple/blue.  Here is a photograph of Pinot Noir grapes in our young vineyard with veraison well underway.
