I spent the day on Sunday (Sept 27) with the great people of Purple Cow Vineyards, helping them harvest their crop for the ’09 crush. Here’s a little photo tour of the day…To learn more about my favorite Oregon Winery, visit their tasting room, or buy online: www.purplecowvineyards.com
Work starts at 9am, and yes, most of the crew had been up late the night before drinking!
The perfect rows of Pinot Noir grapes, ready for picking!
These beauties speak for themselves.
In 4-5 years, this is going to be one great glass of Pinot!
Just yummmmmy!
I Heart Wine
BUSTED!!!
Don't just do something, stand there!
There's more grapes to be picked, people!
The Tempranillo grapes were MUCH easier to pick...looser clusters, hanging farther from the vine. The Temp went very quick!
Before...
After!
Is it safe to say that even the Almighty likes Purple Cow's Pinot Noir?
Great Story! Graham It was wonderful to have your help.

[...] September, you may remember that I helped out at 2009 Harvest at their Vineyards. Just tasting a few grapes from the vine was enough to get me excited about the final product. [...]
