Another week flew by, we had scheduled to harvest the Sabrevois grapes tomorrow, but we must have had about an inch of rain this afternoon. Now we are delayed to Monday. After this one the Frontenac Gris is next and lastly the Frontenac. If we harvest the grape after a heavy rain, the juice is literately watered down from the rain entering the roots of the plants, that you can taste it in the wine. Therefore we have to wait for juice in the grape to return to normal.

This week we have been doing some work on advertising for our upcoming grape stomp: I suggested the idea of doing ten short videos of the top 10 reasons for attending our Rockin Stompin Grape Stomp. Jon, Anna, Iza, Phil, Scott, and our newest employee Andrea have all gotten involved. Andrea is really good on the editing online side of promoting. It is good to see someone younger getting into this job.

Our first video is about a nun called Sister Mary Clarice, my idea. My first six years of school were almost all nuns, I was an altar boy, and I had an aunt a nun. Sister Corine Millner, she is now deceased, she was a wonderful person. I think people tend to think of nuns as just crabby people, well my experience is that nuns like to have fun too and are also real people. I hope you enjoy Sister Mary Clarice.
