2018 Harvest Update

The Pinot Noir grapes have turned a deep purple color in the vineyard (see photo below) but will mature further before they are picked for harvest.

To keep the birds away and prevent them from eating these delicious grapes before harvest, we are trying the use of a realistic appearing falcon kite. It is now flying over the vineyard and swoops and flies with changes in the wind (see photo below).
