Because almost two months remain in 2009, any effort to view the year in retrospect is subject to later revision. Nevertheless, the fascinating and often tumultuous events of 2009 merit some comment and review even prior to the end of the year.

It is October 21st and the production team has heaved a big sigh of relief today with the arrival of our last load of fruit, approximately four tons of Pastorale Chardonnay. The season is officially over!
