This is what
sauvignon looks like when it's ripe. The grapes go from immature green to a nearly translucent golden color. I see a lot of ripe-looking grapes out among the vines now, but harvesting has not really started yet. Some
chardonnay got picked last week, and I'm not sure what the hand-harvesters were picking the other day. But the general harvesting has yet to begin.
These grapes taste good, too. But they're not meant for eating!
We're expecting a hot day today. The high is predicted to hit 30ºC (86ºF) this afternoon, even though it's starting out at a cool 14ºC (57ºF) this morning.
wine on the vine...
