Celebrating the end of Harvest

Here are pictures of our picking crew at 1:00 when we were all finished and enjoying our  lunch.  We worked until all of the Cabernet Franc were harvested.  Unfortunately, because the bird pressure was so bad this summer, we had only 2 tons of fruit.  The weather this Saturday was stellar.  We ate chili to warm up after a cold start in the vineyards.  It was a great day to do work and finish with our harvest.  Many o four workers were second and third time volunteers and since they work for free all we have to say is thank you and give them a free lunch.What a season, what a harvest.  We are grateful to everyone who has supported our effort in any way.  We couldn't have done it without you.
