The harvest is upon us once again. The first grapes to be harvested are usually the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, followed by the rest of the white wine grapes. The red wine grapes are harvested last, in order to allow proper maturation.

The final harvests of the grape growing season belongs to the icewine grapes. Grapes that have been frozen on the vine to capture their proper sugar level and create the wonderful, sweet wine that many of us have come to know and love.
