		<description><![CDATA[We had a great time pouring at the 2009 Harvest Festival this past Saturday &#8212; the wines and the turnout were spectacular. 
I love the setup of this Festival.  Though they attempt to make it alphabetical, it never quite turns out that way, and it can be a maze to find what you&#8217;re looking for.  But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was a big Harvest day for Chardonnay.  Winemaker Bruce just told me that we got in about 85 tons (ONE ton is about 2000 pounds!) of the varietal, which makes up the largest portion of our total production.  Chardonnay came in from our newer block of Wente clone at Lafond Vineyard, Thompson Vineyard, and [...]]]></description>
