In tenda, per tre settimane e mezzo.

Quel giorno stesso mi son fatto un acido perché stavo a pezzi mentalmente, fottuti borghesi con la pappa pronta a casa che vogliono giocare a fare gli insurrezionalisti lontani da casa.

A provincial round vendange tilt top table with beautiful, richly-grained plank top and trestle supports, French circa 1870; Vendange tables are integral to French wine history. The tilt top function allows them to be stored in cellars and easily transported for wine testing. The vendange, wine harvest, begins in August and can finish as late as the end of October. Once months of hard work come to an end, it’s time to taste the wine and celebrate with friends and family.

I'm trying to get better at recording moments in the #vineyard development so that we can learn year on year. Our vines are probably over 20 years old, they are beautiful & resilient to survive & still keep pushing despite the extreme weather in recent years 💚

So here goes, worts and all ;)

Such a beautiful sunrise & a perfect morning for a vendange at our friends vineyard.

The grapes were plentiful & ripe, though Jen thought maybe some weren't ripe enough. It puts into perspective just how not ripe our grapes are so a real dilemma whether we should go ahead to vendange early or not.
