Grape Harvest

In non-bee news, we just harvested our syrah grapes.

When first we moved into our home in East Sacramento, a good friend was helping us move some furniture with her truck.  She looked at out porch and said: that's going to get hot in afternoons; you should put a grape vine on the corner to shade it.
She was very right.  The porch did get hot in the summer and the grape vine has provided enough shade to make a marked difference.
Veraison last year
Next stop: attempted rosé of syrah.
