So, we got word that the fruit won't be in this weekend...was excited but also wanting to have one last weekend of freedom. After work on friday we had our winery pre-harvest party at one of our vineyards that is about 20 minutes from the winery. I really enjoyed having an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the different clones of pinot we have, as well as the vine management, soil, and so on. I was reminded of college and my days at the ag school.
The party culminated with a spitting contest. I didn't win, but I didn't come in last place either.
After the party it was time to head back to the house for the real party we were throwing at the rock quarry behind our house. Had to pick up some necessary supplies on the way home as the pics show...yes I am going old school with my Icehouse and yes I ate half a jar of antacids....I blame it on all the redbull I drank in order to stay awake for two parties :)
I'd say 40-50 people came, mostly all people from other wineries in the area. It was good times and noone got hurt trying to find the quarry or in the fire, ha ha and I got to play dj until the iPod died.

Is that a pic of your spitting contest?
Icehouse? Icehouse?? Icehouse?!?
lmao. Well, kudos to you for kickin' it old-skool. But when you're that close to Washington state and you need a cheap, big, can of "slummin'" beer?
Gotta go with ice-cold Olympia tallboys!
I think...
-cheers!
We do occasionally drink some great microbrews...but ya know we don't get paid too much in the wine business so honestly the beer of choice for everyone always seems to be PBR...just like in philly.
And sarah yes, that was a pic of the paper we spit on for the spitting contest.
