Winemaker Sally Johnson's Pre-Harvest Notes

On your mark, get set… We are ready to go! I have just returned full-time to the winery after maternity leave following the birth of my second child, and I can hardly believe my eyes as I walk the vine rows and taste the grapes that are beginning to ripen.
