Some photos from my recent trek to Walla Walla area wineries






Sunbreak
There's a charming local lore I heard from K. She told me about a local winegrape grower (who shall remain nameless) drinks very cheap tequila and does a naked dance in the moonlight to make the rain go away. I wonder if he did that yesterday. Maybe it was my own rant or chant? Whatever happened, the clouds parted and the blues skies and sunshine smiled down at us today. It was a beautiful crush day. Just as we were crushing the last pallet of Merlot grapes, the sun which was teasing us all morning with bits of sunbreak, finally came out full strength and drenched us in a warm sunny bath. It almost feels like summer again. Warm weather makes all the wet work of cleaning and rinsing everything down more tolerable. dare I say, fun? No grumpies today. Since I have a few more hours of sunny daylight left, I'm going to venture out and visit some of the neighbors.
