The Wave is Coming
September 23rd, 2008 by Annette
Ever been out in the ocean, waiting for a wave? I have. I readily admit that I’m not a very good surfer — I’m just not brave enough. There’s something about only having a wetsuit and a boogie board between me and a set of swells that scares the hell out of me…. It’s funny because I’ve sailed around the world on a ship and have been through some ferocious, terrible, exciting storms in the Pacific, the South China Sea, and even in the Atlantic. That was scary, but a thrill I could handle and even savor. Luckily, running a winery is like being on a ship and not on a surfboard, and this year a tidal wave of grapes will wash upon us soon. Today, we are receiving Chula Vina Chardonnay, and the first of the Pinot from that vineyard as well. Most red grapes have been hanging and waiting here in Monterey– we’ve had pretty mild, beautiful weather the last couple of weeks, but today is the turning point. It will be a fast, compact harvest. Stay tuned.
