This is why head pruning sucks - you see how all the grapes are like in giant clumps at random, instead of in a nice line? It's a lot more work to pick.

Well, there's technically one more. The experimental garage lot. Idk know with this one, I think it's gonna break my heart. 5 year old Pinot St George AKA negrette, head pruned (blerg, that's a PiTA), but I guess it's appropriate for an extremely rare CA heritage grape.

This is the other vineyard for this year. It's my bad romance. Fifty year old zinfandel in the eastern hills of Napa, dead east of the bay. The fruit is so intense and perfect (sort of). The vineyard management is best described as benign neglect, so the grapes are extremely uneven

I don't do a lot of #winemaking posting here but I need a break so.... Here's some Pinot I'm really looking forward to bringing in on Tuesday. The grower is an absolute gem, just an absolute master of his craft. I doubt he's got many equals even in Napa. The fruit is perfect; the berries are so tiny

This is zinny. Zinny loves bean bag chairs and is confused and outraged when humans insist on sitting on them, when they clearly exist for cats

This is a measure of the quality of jobs in the US economy, and the best years after the great recession are still worse than the worst years before it

New skates! Also, as a skier, everyone on the Internet complaining that this brand sizes their boots too small is weak ;) these are roomy AF compared to my ski boots at the same MP

Here was that one time he rolled in (non toxic) glitter from a project I was working on and it perfectly accented his colors and gave him the perfect shimmer and iridescence

My sister's himbo cat is ridiculously photogenic, I snapped this very quickly to send to her after she asked how he was doing (he's living with our parents). Every pic of this dumb cat looks amazing

This old girl has gotten so cuddly in her old age. This was my POV last night as she woke me up by standing on my stomach and meeping at me until I curled up on my side so she could snuggle in. Hard to be mad. (Photo from when I was late with breakfast). She used to be a very standoffish kitty.
