We are halfway through October and almost done with harvest, just the Petit Verdot left. All the whites have now been crushed and are fermenting in stainless for new wines next year. The reds are fermenting and will be crushed next week. What People are saying:

So many exciting events during this month, which is WINE MONTH in Virginia. Two of the events I'm especially excited about, are LIBATION AND ILLUMINATION, Bobbie Wilinski of Bobbie's Barn makes sensational lights out of funky objects and our Blue Grass and Barbecue, celebrating our harvest time.
Brix is the sugar content in the grapes. We want the brix content in the grapes to go up to 21, hopefully 23-24. As the grapes go through fermentation it turns into alcohol, so the brix level is directly related to alcohol content.
I'd like to share what's happening at Third Hill Winery. First, we've started harvesting and crushing. Reisling is the only varietal we have harvested so far, but we have crushed both the Traminette and Chardonal sourced from our friends and fellow wine growers.
