Zinfandel grapes.
“Harvest is heating up for us here at Sbragia. We brought in our Sauvignon Blanc early last week from Russian River Valley along with the La Promessa Zinfandel planted at the winery. The Ginos and Italos vineyards are next to be harvested and are set to be picked this Wednesday. The weather has been ideal with cool mornings and hot afternoons. I’ve been in the vineyards, walking the rows making sure to watch the sugars so we pick the grapes at the otimum ripness. We just began sampling our Napa Caberents as they are now finnishing verasion. Overall, I think this is going to be a great season with a nice crop and great quality!”
