Shannon Ridge Vineyards harvest of red grapes in full swing.

Clearlake Oaks, lake County, California.

Here are some photos shared by Rick Gunier of the harvest taking place at Shannon Ridge.

We are in full swing on picking our red grapes. Most by hand, but some of the larger contracts were for Machine picked Cabernet Sauvignon and we are harvesting several truck loads a day. This is our 2007 coming off the vine on its way to the winery for fermentation.

Here is photo of our NEW director of Wine Production for Shannon Ridge Vineyards and Winery. Mike Wood.
