Another gale


Here we go again. It has been raining heavily all morning and is now gusting to over 47 knots. This is another post-tropical storm, formerly known as Fernand. One of the viticulturists in our group has reported starting to harvest yesterday, with Brix readings on his Solaris of 20 and 22. I can't get out there to read our but I think waiting a few extra days won't hurt. 

This is going to be an extremely busy period. The replacement windows and doors for our house arrived yesterday. The furniture for our new townhouse arrived yesterday as well. Tomorrow I start painting the townhouse so we can move in while the renovation work is done on Port Aleria. I have to start emptying out the rooms in the house for the work to begin in about two weeks. 

Somewhere in there, we have to harvest and process the grapes. Good luck to us!
