Oregon's Wine Harvest




Well this has been an interesting harvest in 2007. Right in the middle of September when everyone is almost ready to start picking, the rains came... At this point, I'm sure that all of the wine makers are on the phone with the other area wine makers asking, "we'll are we going to pick or wait for the sun to come back...?" You see in Oregon, we usually get a beautiful Indian summer, but when and will it actually come are the key points there.
2007 will go down as a year of the real wine makers. This will separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls. Those who are good, will make some exceptional wines and those who aren't... won't... I've already heard some very interesting stories of what some are doing in the wineries.
I guess you'll just have a book a tour to find out who's who...

Cheers!

Ron
