Celebrating harvest

Except for a bit of ice wine, harvest for the 2007 vintage is all finished. Jackie Johnston, who takes most of the photographs for Wine Press Northwest (and who collaborated with Braiden Rex-Johnson in her new Northwest Wining & Dining book), spent much of this autumn in vineyards throughout the Pacific Northwest taking photos.

She has put together a slideshow of photos, along with audio from a blessing being given as harvest began in Gordon Brothers Family Vineyards overlooking the Snake River in Eastern Washington.
