Late Summer Wine Weekend
It's time for harvest, and it's been a cool year at the vineyard. With a record harvest of Missouri-grown Chardonnay at Amigoni Vineyards, the white grapes are crushed and in the winery. The red varieties are still hanging through this wet period, we can only hope to get the enough sunshine in the next 4 weeks to elevate the sugar levels. We predict harvest in mid October of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre and Petit Verdot.
But we know that you have to make time to relax, and there's no better way to do it than with a glass in hand. Here are a pair of events you shouldn't miss. So kick back, let us do the work while you enjoy the weekend. Look forward to more news about the great year that's fermenting the winery.
