That's pretty much our lives right now as harvest heads towards a conclusion for us at Freeman. Still, we find ways to have fun and we just had a cool weekend. Yesterday we had another catered lunch and some great wines including a mini vertical of four vintages of Beaucastel - including the '90. Thanks Eivind and Ken! Somehow pressing and cleaning out three tanks with the remnants of 14 tons of fruit didn't seem too tough. :-)
Today we enjoyed a light morning of punchdowns and then headed down to check out the Raiders game thanks to Freeman supporter Chris P. I've had some great times at Ravens tailgates, but I have to admit that Raider Nation is unlike anything I have ever seen. Mardi Gras meets San Quentin is the best I can describe it. Mix in some of the best grilled ribs and tri-tip ever, and I was a Raiders fan for at least one day. Of course, next week the Ravens will absolutely crush them 10-6 or something. Thanks again, Chris!
With Monday comes more barreling down, pressing and cleaning but it's outside work in one of the most beautiful wineries around so I am not complaining!
