The Hills are Alive with the Smell of Manure


The valley is at its most beautiful right now: colored leaves, beautiful light, morning mist. Today is the last day of picking at Hendry. By noon, the last of the Cabernet will be in tanks, sweet, dark berries awaiting fermentation. Throughout the valley, farmers are doing what farmers always do after the harvest-- fertilizing.
