Rain has arrived in Oregon. Temps in the 60's. Harvest is on hold hoping for sun next week.

Willamette heat wave at an end. Looks like a week of showers on the way, but a little drink is OK. Some harvesting, but not much yet.

The wine gods are watching over the Willamette Valley. 90 today and a week of dry, warm weather predicted. 08 looking very good!

Lovely fall morning in the Willamette Valley. Headed up to Youngberg Hill - should be beautiful!

Off to lunch with winemaker Tony Rynders. I think a cork will be pulled from a good bottle (or 2).

Chaining myself to my desk for a couple of days to catch up!

Perfect day for ripening Pinot in the Willamette Valley!

Forecast is for 3 days of 90 degree temps. The vines will be very happy!

Working wtih Karl Dinger of Terra Vina Winery this beautiful morning.

Off to the Four Graces in Dundee OR. It's a perfect morning and there's lots of sun coming for the grapes over next the week.
