Boedecker Cellars Harvest 09 Day 3

Don't forget to stop by our Open House Saturday, Sept 19th, 2pm-5pm It's the sneak preview of our 2007 Pinots and the last chance to see me and Athena before we disappear into the winery until November.

Quick updates today. Lots of sunshine pushing ripeness. Made a quick run out to the valley to pick up some last minute supplies (fermenters, barrel racks) and check out progress at Hirschy Vineyard.
Block C (Dijon 114): 26.5 Br, 3.59 pH, some raisining. Want to pick this first.
Block D (Dijon 777): 23.8 Br, 3.33 pH, still tart. Want some more sunshine
Block D (Dijon 667): 25.0 Br, 3.31 pH, ditto.


I'm calling the crew right now to set up a Tuesday pick for the Block C fruit and a Thursday pick for the Block D fruit. Hopefully, we can bring in Block 30 from Shea on Thursday, too.

Just of note, the first fruit of the year came into the facility last night. Not ours, but one of our clients, Anne, brought in some Syrah from Eastern Washington. This was a nice surpise, as it allowed us to get the equipment up and running.
