Our september 18th email...

WOW! It is shaping up to be the most beautiful late summer weekend yet! It was 49 degrees this morning and oh so refreshing outside. More is on the way! The air feels so good and clean! I tell ya, this is the perfect weekend to get out to wine country and to join us for the Fall Equinox!

The harvest is such an exciting time in the Piedmont foothills! The new equipment on our new crushpad is working splendidly and our many friends have been coming through and helping out with all of the work! Rick has moved into his tent by the winery to be closer to the tasks at hand and Sharon is getting home at 2am every nite. The fruit flies and the bees are swarming and Brian is driving all over the state collecting 50 tons of delicious grapes...

But you are more than love,the fiery kiss,the heat of fire,more than the wine of life;you arethe community of man,translucency,chorus of discipline,abundance of flowers.I like on the table,when we're speaking,the light of a bottleof intelligent wine.Drink it,and remember in everydrop of gold,in every topaz glass,in every purple ladle,that autumn laboredto fill the vessel with wine;and in the ritual of his office,let the simple man rememberto think of the soil and of his duty,to propagate the canticle of the wine.-pablo neruda
