VASCM: Harvest has started in the Santa Cruz Mts.

[Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard]

We had a few August harvests of Pinot Noir on our old Estate Vineyard on
Jarvis Road in the Vine Hill area. And we are harvesting two-thirds of Ron
Bailey's Pinot Noir in the Vine Hill area this Friday, the 23rd. Over the
3 decades I've worked with local Pinot August harvests are rare but
certainly not unheard of.
