Vinomaker and I have just returned from the annual Napa Valley Small Vineyard Association's harvest party at Phoenix Ranch Vineyards. I missed it last year (as I was double booked for harvest parties that night), so I was really looking forward to attending this year. I got to catch up with a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while and also meet some new folks. A good time was had by all.
I was a little disappointed that the Thingwall Tipplers (you know who you are) were not present, but it seems they flew back to Merseyside on Wednesday. I was hoping to make my apologies in person for being a lousy emailer. Sorry!
Great evening, great food, great wines. Happy harvest season everyone!
