We drove out to wine country (about five miles down the road) last week. Usually the wineries are open daily, but on this day, we found a few of them closed. The drive was slow because of all the farm equipment (translation: grape-harvesting equipment) on the road. The first frost was predicted for that night and the growers were scrambling to get their grapes harvested. Grapes are ordinarily harvested a month earlier than this, but our wet spring and cool summer have meant they've been left on the vine as long as possible to develop a higher sugar content.
These are pinot noir grapes, which (in my humble opinion) are what Oregon does best. I ate one of these after snapping this image. It was sweet and good. Looking forward to drinking it in a few years.
