Squeezin' 08's

Things are pickin' up!!  This "Post-Squeeze" picture of Rolle and Viognier grapes was taken yesterday as they were being dumped out of the press after a gentle whole-cluster pressing that squeezed some pretty awesome juice out for us to ferment.  We are seeing some pretty good activity out there in the vineyards and expect to be in full-blown crush mode by this time next week.  By the time BUSHWALLA shows up, there'll be plenty of cool stuff to see here at the winery.  Stay tuned to this here bloggo for more info.  Also, El Jefe is gonna try to get the live webcam up and running again this week...just in time to catch Nick the Rat pickin his nose!
