Vinoland, and it's immediate vicinity, was a hive of activity today. We harvested our Syrah, and I am happy to say the fruit looked to be of great quality.The folks at Far Niente harvested their Chardonnay overnight (this photograph was taken a week ago), perhaps more due to logistics this year than just the desire to bring the fruit into the winery for processing as chilled as possible. 2010 is shaping up to be one of those vintages where the time between harvesting whites and reds is being considerably shortened.
This evening, Vinomaker and I attended the Napa Valley Small Vineyard Owners Association's harvest party...there were some vineyard owners of normal height there also.

Is there a height limit for small vineyard owners?
Harvest done eh? I suppose it's just Que Syrah Syrah now......
Yes, Thud: If a small vineyard owner can see the last row of the vineyard from the front row, he or she is immediately upgraded to the next size of vineyard owner.
Nice one Affer,now why didn't I think of that one!
Thud: 5' 11 1/2" I believe.
Affer: Very good, but no...the Cabernet is still hanging around.
Thomas: Does upgrading to the next size require any medieval torture apparatus?
Lord Roby: Somebody had to say it!
