Fall Crop of Apples
October 11th, 2013
Picking the last of the Fall apple varieties from my garden. I have a bucketful of “Fiesta” apples, a nice crisp and tart variety that tastes similar to MN Landscape Arboretum developed, “Honeycrisp.” They ripen later in the season and are one of the last of my crops to harvest, as the gardening season comes to a close in Minneapolis. The ground cover seen in the photo underneath all my apples tress is the carpet of fraise des bois or alpine strawberry.

It’s harvest time at Kitchak Cellars in the Napa Valley and there’s nothing better than the free run juice from freshly crushed grapes.
By all accounts, it looks like 2013 will be an extraordinary vintage. It’s an exciting time in the valley and the fragrance of harvest time is unmistakable. Working with Peter Kitchak in the winery sure does make me appreciate a glass of good wine.
