« 2005 Michel Sarrazin Givry "Sous La Roche" | Main | Three Decades of La Jota Cab Franc »
Today at Crushpad we welcomed the arrival of the first grapes of 2008. A couple of tons each of chardonnay (from somewhere in Lodi) and Sauvignon Blanc from Grassini Vineyard down in Santa Ynez.
Mike Z kicked off the proceedings with a toast to the new harvest season and poured some ceremonial bubbles on the sorting line. Then we all slurped downed some flutes of J Cuvee 20. Then it was back to the coffee.
Just another day at the winery!
