It is now 9.30am on the 16th of September and commencement of the harvest is quickly approaching; and what a harvest it promises to be. Tasted some grapes from our vineyard this morning and the potential is certainly there to produce a very special wine. This photo has just been taken from our balcony, a good indication of what September mornings are like here in St.Emilion, Bordeaux.
All this talk of grapes and wine is making me extremely thirsty; and hey, if Brian Cowen, the leader of Ireland, can, then so can I!
