My Honey and I are taking a little break from harvest by attending TWGGA Grape Camp 2010. Grape harvest is over, peanut harvest if over, but cotton harvest is still underway. Most of the family is still at home working on cotton harvest.
It takes a lot of helpers to keep that work going.
My Honey and I went to Dallas for the 2010 Grape and Gridiron Classic, which was a taste off of 11 Texas and New York wines. All wines were made from grapes grown in their perspective states.
Last Tuesday night we finished the last of the 2010 grape harvest, Cabernet Sauvignon. Let me tell you, I worked very hard that night. I rode back and forth in the pickup truck as My Honey hauled grapes from the field to the barn to be weighed and loaded on a truck.

We usually try to do samples at the same outdoor temperature each day when we take them. It was cooler today, thus the time of the testing being later than it has been.
Here is a continuation of the last post about this year’s harvest. I left you looking at these tantalizing Vermentino grapes…
beautiful grapes… and wondering what all these controls are for…
