Greetings!
This is our Weekly Picking Update (not our bi-monthly
newsletter.) A few days before the weekend we check the vineyard
and make notes of ripening conditions. It is not a guarantee of
what is available, but what the typical picking conditions are.

Grapes are Earlier this year! Don't
Wait!
This is week 3 of 6 that we are open
- our season is short so mark your calendars & visit us. Many
people print this newsletter & bring it to the vineyard with
them to act as a picking guide. Remember we are only open
Friday, Saturday & Sunday and not during
the week.
Our week 3 grape winner is tghawleyathome@aol
They will have 40 lbs of grapes that they can pick for free.
Our week 2 grape winner is hdjid@aol
Our week 1 grape winner is thebarnierbunch@hotmail
