The grapes are getting ripe enough to start talking about harvest dates. I’ve been tasting grapes in the Cabernet and Merlot multiple times a day with everybody who comes through on the winery tour. I go out to the Syrah once every couple of days to taste there too. And of course, the real expert tastes the grapes every time we let her outside.
Muse sniffs the merlot grapes for ripeness
My dog, Muse.
Nobody believes me until they see it for themselves. Muse loves to eat the grapes once they’re ripe. I’ve even sworn to that in a recent harvest update published by the Languedoc Pages.
People say grapes can kill a dog, but my dog eats grapes all the time. I can’t stop her once they’re ripe.
It would appear they’re not quite ready yet though as she’s just giving them a brief sniff before moving on. We’ll have to wait a couple more weeks before she starts gobbling up all the profit at O’Vineyards.
Just more proof that harvest won’t be as early as I expected it to be when people asked me in June.
