It's hard to imagine so many months have gone by since I have written. Summer in the Willamette Valley has been amazing. It has been one of the driest on record, and yet we are still within normal average rain fall for the year due to a record breaking rainfall in March.
Harvest is here. The trucks are here in Dundee, delivering grapes from all over the state. The workers are all here, waiting for the word. When the picks start it's only takes a few days to pick tons of grapes and get them to the crushing facility.
I am always amazed how the smell of the town changes during harvest and crush. The entire town starts to smell like wine. It's really quite charming. And, for wine lovers, it's the trigger to sit down and have a glass.
The pictures above are of Dundee, Oregon. The pictures below are of France and Italy. I don't know about you but, it seems there isn't a whole lot of difference. I LOVE IT HERE!!!
