Lady of the Harvest

I like to consider myself efficient. I got all my packing done last night and this morning I woke up early and headed down to my mom’s house in Silicon Valley for the harvest at our community vineyard. I figured that harvesting grapes for wine would be a great way to say good-bye to California before moving to London.

We started out by clipping the grapes from the vines, then de-stemmed them at the winery. Most of the grapes were Cabernet, with a few vines of Merlot mixed in.

I have to run to the airport (gonna miss my flight if I don’t get going soon), but I’ll write more when I get to Paris.
