Delivering grapes with Bret

Since I mostly see my grape-growing husband only in passing during harvest time (ever heard the term harvest widow?), my mother-in-law agreed to watch our two little girls so I could hop into the 18-wheeler right alongside him to deliver a load of grapes to Rodney Strong. Thanks Mom!

Okay, here's his stats from the weekend:

206 tons picked
80 gondolas filled @ 2 tons ea. -- 60 to Rodney Strong & 20 to Coppola
8 trips to the wineries averaging two hours each
9 hours of sleep in three, 3-hour increments

Yup! It's busy around here. I don't know how Bret does it all on that amount of sleep, but he even manages to keep a smile on his face...
