I'm seeing more bright orange and yellow in the landscape. The Fall colors should be at their peak next Saturday when you're all out harvesting my vineyard. If you haven't signed up I strongly suggest that you do so. Harvest party is one of my favorite events of the year and it always turns into a good time. In the past we've served lasagna, Salmon, Chili, and burgers. This year we will be offering Prime Rib! This is the best way we can think of to keep vegitarians away. Vegitarians are difficult to please. If you don't eat meat please feel free to bring your carrots and tofu. We will not be offering a meatless alternative. Grape pickers are meat eaters. All of the greatest grape pickers throughout the world eat meat. Email or call to sign up for this free event.
This week I have to make one more trip to Horse Heaven to pick up Cabernet Franc. From there on out all my fruit will be coming from Celilo and our own estate.
With Kris pouring wine at the Shelton Oyster Festival and Ryan pouring at the Hood River Hops Festival, I was left yesterday to work the tasting room by myself. I was so lonely that I began talking to winery pig, Minnie. She didn't say much back. She's a pig. Pigs don't talk. Finally, people began to pull in and before I knew it I was busy. Visitors of the day included the Jayhawks from Arizona, the couple staying at the tree house B & B and the couple who had their car stolen in Walla Walla. Sorry you two from Santa Cruz, you sucked.
Next week I will be announcing my VISITORS OF THE YEAR awards. These are people who left a lasting impression following their visit.
Sign up for the Harvest Party folks. I promise you a great time.
Your meat is always tender, Husum!
Joel
