So after my last post, we’ve had nothing but cool, misty and even rainy weather. Complete with massive thunder and lightening storms.  BIZARRE. Really cool though, except for the drama it’s putting the grapes through.  On Sept 30th, we had a team picking Zinfandel at Chinook Cellars.  Thought since we’d be out of town that weekend we could sneak in early Thursday and get the job done.  Of course, out of no where, it rained.  It’s okay though. The grapes came in at 22 brix which we are happy with.  I’m really excited to make wine from Norm and Elaine’s Chinook Vineyard this year.  They take great pride in their vineyard and I know we will have great results from the wine!
