Cristom Vineyards - Harvest 2018




Understanding Wine:  Austin Beeman's Interviews with Winemakers show

Summary: In September of 2018, while enroute to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla, I found myself at Cristom Vineyards during harvest of their 2018 Vintage. The fruit was coming in from one of the estate vineyards that produces the delicious Mount Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir. The harvest was bountiful, in fact, it was much more abundant than anyone was expecting. With an intern down with a minor injury, I jumped on the sorting table to help out. I also had time to shoot a short video. Enjoy.
