It’s the time of year in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys when all things converge and the Harvest parties begin. The grapes are all picked, the stems removed and the crush is all but over. This is my favorite time of the year in Wine Country for probably the same reason I love Autumnal pictures of Vermont. The grape vines are now turning the colors of Fall.

It never ceases to amaze me how quick the leaves turn from shades of green to pumpkin, rose and mustard. It signifies that another vintage is being nurtured and that the Napa and Sonoma Valleys will once again be free of trucks hauling tons of grapes on winding two lane highways during the commute.
This a beautiful time of year, for sure, and I’m looking forward to driving through the vineyards tomorrow watching the sunrise hit the leaves and lighting the valleys on fire with the amazing warmth and color that is uniquely Wine Country.
