No, not talking about remembrances of puppy love ---- rather, it's that time
of year for grapes. Anyone else already crushing?

We crushed a small lot of Sauvignon Blanc last Saturday. The numbers on the
grapes were 'right on'; 24 Brix, 3.08 pH, .76 TA. The primary is bubbling
along very nicely in the cool room right now. and we're cleaning up and
getting ready for the Marsanne - which looks like it will be ready to go
this weekend. As usual, acids will be a little low by the time the sugars
get to target, but the fruit is in great condition.

The Syrah won't be ready for probably another month - but one vineyard up
here (lower elevation) has already harvested at 25 Brix. Incredibly early.

Anyone else crushing already - or about to?
