2020 Harvest
2020 Harvest is shaping up to be one of the most troubled harvests around the world, however without adversity there is no growth, right? California, Oregon and parts of Washington wine country have been battling heat waves and wildfires. France is dealing with major drought and low yields, Italy actually had thunderstorms and TORNADOES! Yes, Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore. Oh, and did we mention we all have collectively been drudging through a pandemic that has forced thousands of restaurants, tasting rooms, bars, and anywhere else you used to get a nice glass of wine or cocktail at to close, some indefinitely! Needless to say this has been quite the year, however we push forward and onward in hopes to finally see that light at the end of the tunnel. We are thankful for our suppliers who work so hard during these challenging and sometimes seemingly impossible times. They are the light at the end of our tunnel and we hope you enjoy seeing a glimpse of the future to come.. #harvest2020

Chronic Cellars
This is a shot of the first day of harvest for Chronic on 8/28. This is Tempranillo from the Adelaida district (a sub AVA) of Paso Robles. This will most likely go into the blend for our small production DTC wines, El Perfecto and/or Love Insects.

Victor Hugo Winery
We haven’t started picking yet, but we’re getting close. I’m out in the vineyard checking each morning. We’re probably going to start our whites, Viognier and Chardonnay, in about two weeks. It will probably be at the very end of September for the earliest reds which are Zin and Syrah for us.
Epoch Winery
We picked Viognier and a new block of Syrah for Rosé – both from Paderewski – last Thursday and Friday. The year in the vineyard was looking, dare I say – normalish – but now some crazy heatwaves followed by cool weather and more heat are making me reconsider this vintage’s personality. It is 2020, after all! Let’s all hope this vintage turns the year around for the better.
