Don't get me wrong, I love the excitement of the grape harvest but this harvest was much longer than usual and me and the kids are thrilled to have my husband, Mike back in our life's and resuming a somewhat normal schedule. Being married to a Vineyard Manager and having our own small family vineyard requires careful planning. Our life schedule is very much tied directly to the seasons. We wake up and go to sleep with the grapes. Now that we have finished the frantic and exciting fall harvest we slip into the winter dormant season and our schedule becomes easier. In the spring the frost alarm is set and once again we are on alert for frost control during the crucial time of bud break of the vines. Some people believe that living in California means not experiencing the beauty and changes of the seasons. Here in Napa we not only experience the seasons but our lives are completely entwined with the land and the seasonal changes. Many years ago a friend sent me a t-shirt that said "crush survivor" and even though it was just a joke, family members that live through the excitement, stress, and long hours of crush can relate. Diana's Wine Tips For my friends who are always searching for a great bottle of wine at a great value check out a couple of my favorite wines that we try and keep stocked in our wine cellar. Beaulieu Vineyards aka BV Carneros Reserve 2000 Chardonnay Was $24.99, now around $15.00 bucks Robert Mondavi Oakville '99 Cab Was $50.00 now $25.00 For tips and regularly updated recommendations when visiting the Valley visit my website at www.gelowcoaching.com
