Excellent Wine Harvest Event

Summer vacations are coming to an end and the start of school is getting near.
In Sonoma, the friendly wine folks are kicking it up a notch.
This is the beginning of Harvest.
Today, workers are hard at work inspecting, measuring
and harvesting sparkling wine grapes.
More varietals are scheduled in weeks to come.
For wine growers, wine makers & crew the waiting is over and hard work begins now.
You can see this daily on drives along CA highways 101, 128 & 12.
It's a special time in Sonoma.
You can actually feel, see, taste and smell the change of season.
Many of these tasks must be done.
Wineries are scheduling, storing, buying, selling,
cleaning equipment, attending to customers & wine club events
plus this duty, monitoring mother nature.
All of these tasks can make or break your season.
This is why it is affectionately known as Crush!

A great way to take part in the harvest season is by attending a locals event.
It is the Sonoma County Fall Harvest Fair which will be held this year
October 4-7 at 1350 Bennett Valley Rd Santa Rosa, CA 95402.
It's approx 90 min. north of the SF Golden Gate Bridge on Hwy 101 N.
This is a scenic and easy drive.
For event & ticket information see www.harvestfair.org.
There will be plenty to taste, see and do here.
The concept of the fair is to inform, value and judge everything
that is made or raised in Sonoma County from art, foods,
wines (150 wineries under 1 roof) etc.
It is a once a year event not to be missed
and a great way to be part of the Crush.

Cheers!
