Last year at this time I had just finished harvest in Santa Rosa, California. It was my favorite harvest job to date. I miss the 18 hour days working in the vineyard and winery. There is something magical about harvest. It is hard work both physically and mentally, but it sure beats sitting in front of a computer all day! Sometimes I wondered why I did it. But now that I am not doing it, I know why.
The closest I have gotten to the vineyard this year was when I took the Retail Department out for a quick lesson on Brix. Here they all are in the vineyard. The fruit was picked this week.

I WAS BORN WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND: ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD Becky Rochester would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant she could see the world, and that is what she did and continues to do today. She has lived in WI, IL, PA, CA, OR, New Zealand and Australia. Working in different wineries and vineyards and now a brewery, she lives life to the fullest. Sometimes following her heart instead of her head put her in some difficult situations, but she wouldn't change a thing.
