At lunch, you’ll see a lot of winery workers, and not just at Dutcher, just on their phones or eating and reading some shitty do-nothing-for-you magazine. Me, I have to get out there, in the vineyard, every shift, clear my head and acknowledge and appreciate what’s around me.
There was something about yesterday’s walk that I couldn’t pass the opportunity or invitation to go see, find myself fully embedded. With the cloud cover, there was an extra touch of peace, meditation for me, walking along the creek and letting myself get enveloped fully in where I was, where I’ll be today.
The wind, soil, leaves, growing clusters… breathe, breathe…..
