September 27, 2009First Day of Harvest, Part II

…so the truck showed up, off we went to McMinville and everything went great, right?

Not so much. 

So the truck was 3 & half hours late.  So I got to wait for 3 hours.  It was a pleasant place to wait…

don't see any trucks out there....

don't see any trucks out there....

…but really, if was awful.  I waited.  Walked around.  Checked out other parts of the vineyard.  Looked down the road.  Walked around some more.  Ate a donut.  Looked for the truck again.  Called the winery to let them know I would be late.  Looked for the truck. 
     And, finally, the truck showed up-late, but it showed.  No, I won’t go into the why it was late.  No, I won’t go into the trip down when the grapes almost fell off the truck or when there was a wrong turn….
    At any rate, the grapes finally got to the winery.  I was very late, but fortunately I brought gifts: cupcakes from Cupcake Jones (www.cupcakejones.net).  Awesome Pearl District tastiness makes up for being late…sorta..
     Finally, time to get the grapes going towards wine!
