Behind Every Great Vineyard is a Grumpy Farmer. Words of wisdom from a guy who has been there and knows more than you. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Twits who Tweet and Thoughts on Harvest. In my last blog, I promised to let you know when harvest was in full swing so you could plan your trip to Napa to witness it first-hand (actually I think I said "to clog up the roads" which wasn't very nice, but whatever). It's here. Enough said. Big deal. You know who gets all excited about tweets? Faithful see imag...

Behind Every Great Vineyard is a Grumpy Farmer. Words of wisdom from a guy who has been there and knows more than you. Friday, October 22, 2010. Weird Science Proves Harvest is Over. But here's what I can't seem to get through to some winemakers: we're at the point the fruit will get no riper than it is now. Why? Warm and sunny = summer. Cold and wet = winter. Step 1. Walk into any one of the 2.5 bathrooms in your home. Step 2. Turn off the heat if you have it on. Resist the urge to bring your laptop int...

Behind Every Great Vineyard is a Grumpy Farmer. Words of wisdom from a guy who has been there and knows more than you. Monday, August 9, 2010. Don't you just hate it when friends come back from vacation and send you their stupid pictures and drone on and on about all the fun they had? So do I. So I won't bore you with any details about my vacation except to say you shouldn't believe anyone who says it's now safe to drink the water in Mexico. Do I need to paint a picture? That's called a "l-a-w-n-m-o-w-e-...
