Picking Keefer Tonight

We bring our first grapes in tonight! We are picking Keefer Ranch in the Russian River Valley starting at 4am Wednesday. Due to some problems with a higher than expected percentage of sour berries, the grapes will require extra sorting. It should be an exciting day! The photo is of Andrew today at his "still dry" winery.
