The folks at Far Niente have not been letting the grass grow beneath their feet, in fact they disked said grass into their Coombsville vineyard's floor a couple of days ago. The FN vineyard crew also, whilst playing the waiting game with Mother Nature, made hay while the sun shined and drilled-in this coming winter's cover crop. The Chardonnay clusters are looking very nice right now, just a little bit of sunburn, but with more rain forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday who knows how long the fruit will stay looking this pretty. Waiting for harvest is not a total waste of time, there are a number of other vineyard operations for vineyard managers to busy themselves with whilst they wait, and wait, and wait. Sigh!

I wouldn't mind getting a little bit of sun burn as well (even though humans are not supposed to) craving for some sun. The Chardonnay clusters are doing nicely
ALW: I know, it's been another cool, foggy summer (except in the South Bay), and I am tired of it...I'm already hoping next year will be better.
