As if 2 inches weren't enough! Please stop rain, we still have several vineyards to pick!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Rain does not make for happy grapegrowers.. fingers crossed it clears up soon!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

All this heat is ripening fruit...crushing Ellie's Old Vine Zin today at Wilson and Sangiovese at deLorimier!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Our 2009 wines might be our best vintage yet! Sawyer Zin won Sweepstakes at the Harvest Fair, and we got 5 other golds!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Is it too much to ask for more than 1 day of sun in a row?

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Great looking and tasting fruit from Carl's Vineyard this mornimg ..... my job now is just not to screw them up!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Truck broke down with Sydney Zin grapes .... may be a long night!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Bottling Sauv Blanc for deLorimier right now...am I nuts bottling in the middle of harvest?? We need the tank space though!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

European Grapevine moth quarentine, what a pain! We now have to be certified green waste haulers... when did grapes become green waste???

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

We're certainly not w(h)ining about our combined 79 metals @ the Harvest Fair! Wilson racked 7 golds, yahoo!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Every hose, tank, drain, piece of equipment has been thoroughly cleaned at Wilson .... now we just need grapes! Windows next??

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

What a whacky weather year! Think heat.. NO rain. Just picked Sauv Blanc, down 45%... sunburn and a small crop to begin with.

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Crushed first grapes of the year, Nunes Pinot for Matrix!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Bottling the last wines for deLorimier,Malbec,Sangiovese and Petite Verdot. Leave for Georgian Bay on Wed. with the dog and cat for 6 weeks!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Ken & Sawyer are up in Canada.Had a great weekend with the house to myself! Getting ready to bottle the last wines for deLorimier on Thurs.

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Great night at deLorimier listening to the Blues Burners! Good live music is such a treat.

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Second day of bottling for Wilson, all is going well.

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

had a great weekend in LA celebrating Tori's graduation from UCLA!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Caught up on paperwork, going for a run and then home to make carnitas for the parade. Margaritas and enchiladas .... rain or shine!

[Diane Wilson @wilsonwinery]

Just finished up bottling Matrix wines! 2008 shaped up to be nice vintage, which was hard to do following the 07's.
