Harvest Time

[Cole]

Domaine Serene is getting their first fruit (Syrah from WA) in a week or so. Broadley Vineyards is looking to September 28 as the start of their picking. I heard Mike Etzel at Beaux Freres say his PN is at 19 brix now. None of the winemakers like the little rainfalls that took place this week, and everybody has their fingers crossed for a '99-style Indian Summer. Let's hope so--a four-peat would be great!!
