Harvest is getting closer, so I wanted to wrap up my series of vineyard visits from last month. On July 23, we took a trip through three of the Anderson Valley Vineyards that Waits-Mast sources from.

In fact, it’s been a relatively cool year in Anderson Valley, which means that harvest is likely later than it was in 2015. Continue reading
