...And Waiting, But Not Much Longer
After five days of warmer weather there is enough onshore push this morning that the marine layer has returned. It is forecast to be cooler for the next couple of days. I'm off to sample the Estate this morning with intern Eddie – hoping and praying that the Pinot is close to ready.One – I just want to get started! Two – we are looking at a rainy forecast for Friday. Unlike the last rain projection this one looks to be more solid. By Friday night rain is expected to spread across Sonoma County and into the south Bay. No prediction of amounts yet and there is the promise of warm and dry behind the front.
I have no doubt that the fruit will hold up fine to several moderate shots of rain, without developing Botrytis or other rots. I just don't need the worry. That's why I want to get started – once I am in the flow of harvest I won't have so much inclination to hand-wringing.
