The Final Push in the 2010 Harvest from Hell

Mother Nature has not been kind to the Sonoma County grape growers in 2010.   It was a cool, wet spring followed by a much cooler than average summer with a few blasts of record heat.  The crop loss will be significant.

As of October 19th the weather forecast is for the possibility of rain showers beginning Friday that will last for several days.   Rain and mature grapes don't get along well.   So this week will be the last major push to get the rest of the wine grapes in.

If you're thinking about visiting the North Bay wine country to see the harvest in action then this may be your last chance this year.
