Well, harvest is over and, yes, I was too lazy to post (or even think about posting) anything new. In the 2008 harvest it seemed like all the fruit came in at once. Since Aaron and I work at August Briggs we help make +/- 15 different wines, and all the grapes decided to come barreling in ( no pun intended) all at once.
The frost decreased the amount of crop we received over all, but if all goes as smells everything should be just dandy, when it comes to quality.
The Romililly fruit came in right around the tonnage we expected. This is nice because we only make the one wine, so, therefore, rely on our crop level very heavily.
