Let the Harvest begin!

Crews started this morning as the sun came up on what looks to be Lake County's first vineyard to start harvesting Shannon Ridge winegrapes.
The first varietal to be picked was Sauvignon Blanc from the Morine Ranch vineyard above Clearlake Oaks.
As the sun came up harvest crews were already picking Shannon Ridge's Sauvignon Blanc, One of the first vineyards to begin picking this years winegrapes.
