My apartment's a mess, my car is overdue for an oil change, and the cat needs to be brushed, but all the fruit is almost in! We have just under 100 tons to go and the cellar is moving back to a 5-day-a-week schedule. There's still a lot of work to do - almost every lot still needs to be pressed and barreled down and...

I've been reading religious history lately. Right now I'm reading a book about the...

So I hope all you bastards have fun at the SG1Y.

I'm averaging 14 hours a day at work. We're just getting into the heat of harvest. The past couple of days we've brought in about 100 tons of reds (mostly Merlot) and 50 to 100 tons of whites (Chardonnay). Our max capacity for one day is 300 tons of reds and 100 tons of...

There's something in the wind these days. Can you smell it? Disillusionment, disenchantment, loss of enthusiasm, disconnectedness.

We've got major morale problems at work and the execs don't want to deal with it and they're unable to recognize their own contribution to it.
