Patience, patience…

Still waiting. Still watching. The sun is shining brightly, we’ve got a couple of gorgeous days ahead – warm days, cool nights. If ripening grapes could order room service, this is what they’d order. Just gimme another week or so of this and we’re good to go. Of course it looks like the weather might turn in about 3 more days. Waiting. Watching. Nothing is ready to pick yet, so wait is all we can do…

And we can go check in on the baby vines at our new Azana Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA – here’s the view from up there earlier today…

Speaking of waiting, it’ll only be two more years before we get any fruit from this site. And by the time we know if it’s any good, I’ll be retired or dead (or both!) Other than that, everything happens quickly in this business…

If we have to wait for the grapes, at least we can eat and drink well – looking forward to dinner at Jory tonight. Cheers!
