1. Nice photos as always. I just finished a great book “Wine & War.” About the wineries of France during the German occupation, it gave me a new awareness of the place wine has in our cultures, so much more that just a beverage.

   1. Thank you very much. And thanks for the title – that sounds like something I would like to read. Wine production is such a major industry here and there are vineyards everywhere. Cheers.

2. Great looking vineyard and bunch. Do you ever get to stomp a few? 🙂

   1. Hahaha. 🙂 I get to drink a few. The stomping, not so much. I would stain my feet. 😉

3. Looks like it might be a “grape” harvest this year. Love the patterns on the water beyond. Happy Tuesday Lynette. Allan

   1. Thanks, Allan. Hahaha. 🙂 The grapes haven’t been exposed to smoke taint (although that whole issue is controversial – does it cause flavour changes? Maybe not.) about which some industry people have been worried.

      I agree about the lake. It almost looks as if there’s an ice skim, but there definitely isn’t!

4. I am reminded of my maternal grandmother’s grape vines…and her homemade wine.

5. All the more reason to taste test some of the wine afterwards to see if it actually was a good harvest 🙂

   1. Totally agree! We’re planning some autumn tastings and I’m looking forward to those now. We had visitors for a bit and I developed some winery fatigue!
