California Bountiful Magazine - September/October 2020

Adam Lee (in tie-dyed shirt, above), owner and winemaker of Clarice Wine Co. in Sonoma County, hand sorts pinot noir grapes he purchases from Garys’ Vineyard in Monterey County. He uses a refractometer, below left, to measure the sugar content in grape juice samples at harvest.

Below, bins of freshly picked grapes are loaded into refrigerated trucks and transported to the winery for processing as the sun rises.
