It's harvest season all over the Northern Hemisphere and I am frankly surprised that we're not seeing more harvest-themed blogs all over the net. It's a great way to cut out the middle man (hey, wait a minute that's me) and bring information directly to the consumer. And unlike much of the rest of the year, most wine producers have something new to share every day this season. What a perfect opportunity to strengthen their relationship with their fans.

Sadly, almost no one has the time during harvest season for such an undertaking and we're stuck looking from the outside in, through opaque windows. The truth is, I'm a lot like you, and while I will try to let everyone know about the various vintage conditions, I'm chomping at the bit to find out more. Doing that requires a man or woman on the grounds.
