Grape Harvest, First Block

Although the early morning sky at 5 a.m. was full of stars, by 7 a.m. the fog softened the heat of the past week, and the picking was cool. Two and a half tons per acre yield on the old block of chardonnay, a good harvest!

Each bin is about half a ton. These two bins represent
the fruit of a little less than half an acre.
