Vendange 2020: The Hardest Lessons Yet

September 7, 2020 Posted by Mimi

Dear Friends, Outside of my field notes, I rarely write in the growing season or near the harvest. Keeping up with the work takes 110% physical and mental presence, but this year I have decided that some things should not be looked at in the rearview. I have wanted to maintain a spirit of both […]
