Ripeness racing along...boy are we going to be busy

We brought in our first 1.5 tons today from Carlton Hill Vineyard. Great flavors, and nice, ripe fruit. If it's any indication of things to come, this is going to be one kick ass vintage.

This hot spell is really pushing the ripeness quickly. While we currently have a total of 1.5 tons in the winery today, we'll have 11-12 tons by Friday and 20 tons by Monday night. For those who want to help sort fruit as it arrives, now's the time!!

More pictures coming tomorrow...along with more fruit on Thursday and Friday

We'll get the pix from today online tomorrow night sometime....The winery looks empty now. Soon it'll be crammed full as all the wineries rush to get fruit in before it turns too raisiny.

Here's a preview of coming attractions at Boedecker Cellars (all still tentative beyond Thurs):

Thursday: 7-8 tons from Cherry Grove Vineyard
Friday (?): 2.5 tons from Shea Vineyard
Monday: 4 tons from Anderson Family Vineyard
4 tons from Momtazi Vineyard
Tuesday: 6 more tons from Cherry Grove Vynd
