2007 Sonoma Harvest Report
From Daily News Links, 11/16/2007
The 2007 Sonoma County harvest was smaller than average, but extremely high in quality, said panelists at the 2007 Sonoma County Harvest Report, co-hosted by the Sonoma County Vintners and Sonoma County Winegrape Commission on Monday, November 12 at Paradise Ridge Winery in Santa Rosa. A new element this year for the panel discussion was the addition of grape growers, who were each paired with a winemaker to offer an overview of growing conditions during the season. Peter Marks, MW, moderated the panel, which included Steve Dutton of Dutton Ranch, Dan Goldfield of Dutton-Goldfield Winery, Adam Lee of Siduri Wines, Marne Coggan of Sonatera Vineyards, Dan Barwick of Paradise Ridge Winery, Ulises Valdez of Valdez Vineyard Management, and Steve Reeder and Leland Reichel of Simi Winery. Steve Dutton spoke for all when he said, "The crop size was down, but we harvested beautiful, beautiful fruit this year. If someone's not making great wine from this vintage, they're in the wrong business."
