We crushed our first Pinot in Elkton today from the Westbrook Vineyard. It is approximately 5 miles North of Sutherlin, OR. This fruit was harvested on Sept 16 last year. So…that makes it about 3 weeks behind.

More photos to follow as soon as I figure it out! Exciting day, fruit arrived in great shape, clusters are smaller from this vineyard than they were last year. Grape flavor!!! I experienced dumping the grape bins into the hopper, using the forklift, (might not seem like much, but it really is). Couldn’t get the smile off my face.
My husband, Terry , is a master with the forklift, he teases that he attended Fork U.
More grape fun tomorrow : )
