i have a crush

As promised, here is my video of the crush some friends and I happened to walk into:

The guys that were managing the crush walked over and gave us some of the grapes to eat. Once you’re fortunate enough to nosh on some of these incredible little fruits fresh off the vine, you’ll never be satisfied with another grape again! This action was all happening last night at Merryvale in St. Helena, California. I snapped a photo of one of the many bins of grapes too. The photo didn’t come out great, but I wanted to give everyone an idea of what goes into those delish bottles of wine we all love:

I felt like jumping in!

While I type this I am sipping on some 2006 Petite Sirah from Swanson Vineyards. Yum. After my stay in the Napa Valley during harvest season, I will forever have a higher appreciation for wines I drink. I take a bow to the brilliant winemakers of the world. The devotion and patience it takes for them to make their magic is beyond impressive. What a fantastic experience it has been for me to be here during harvest season 2010!
