Crush is Coming!

Harvest is upon us. Well, not us specifically, as our grapes have three or four more weeks to go. But many Rogue Valley growers have brought grapes in already.

Scott is helping out at Agate Ridge this season, as new winemaker Kiley Evans is a bit understaffed. Kiley was at Abacela up until just a few months ago, and anyone who has read just about anything I have written knows I am a charter member of the Kiley Evans Fan Club. Remember, just last fall the Wine Spectator declared Abacela's Tempranillo as the 2007 Oregon Wine of the Year. Kiley rules!

The brought in Sauvignon Blanc last week, and have been doing Pinot Gris this week (whites usually go first). Scott is really psyched to be working with these different varietals. Stay tuned for more harvest and crush info!
