Due to the run of warm dry weather in Northern California and the Central Coast, harvest is in full on schwing here at Crushpad.  Overall the fruit has looked really good with a little bit of dehydration and high sugars but also pretty good acid. 

On Monday I manned my first shift as harvest intern.  The IT and Marketing teams are collectively staffing the equivilent of one harvest intern and Monday was day was my day..  I did punch downs and brix and temperature measurements on a bunch of Pinot and also sorted an amazing am Cabernet from the Ink Grade Vineyard near Howell Mountain.
