Morning meditation. By himself with only music and podcasts, Markus thins shoots in Steve Borra's Church Block Lodi Carignane planted in 1938.

Two vineyard workers wearing bright red hoodies cutting off light purple grape bunches from tree-like vines and dropping them into bright yellow bins on the ground.

Many light purple grape bunches still hanging on a vine that looks like a small tree.

Happening now: picking Lodi Nicolini Ranch Ancient Vine Carignane planted in 1936. Last year we picked these rows on September 3, so we’re back on track after ripening slowed during a cool July. Mighty tasty fruit this year!

Some green Riesling grapes with a small amount of purple Cargnane grapes coming out of a large hose.

Riesling Carignane co-ferment? 😬 Wasn't my idea...
