In the Applegate we have a true Fall. The colors are outstanding, the weather is crisp and it starts to rain. Never mind that we may never get the vines netted before the birds arrive, don’t worry about low sugars or getting the tractor stuck in a soggy vine row. Its harvest time and harvest we shall , just like all the years in the past. We’re grape growers, farmers, the biggest gamblers in the country. We just pull on the rubber boots and get the job done.
