Harvest 2014 while underway, has been a “start, stop” sort of harvest here in Napa so far. That is the picking began and then either slowed way down or stopped while waiting for the next round of grapes to hit the “ready” stage of ripe. 

Then of course here in Napa many wineries were hit to varying degrees by the earthquake over 2 weeks ago now, so the fact that grape deliveries had slowed down was actually a bit of a silver lining as the cleanup process had to be taken care of.

So as wineries get back in gear with harvest, which by nature is a chaotic & unpredictable event I’d like to offer some organizational assistance to reduce some of that chaos.

This assistance is my free “Harvest compliance Tips” list. These are designed to give you simple, specific guidance around your weigh tags, work orders and reports to:

• Help keep your harvest numbers organized for later use
• Keep you in the good graces of the TTB, and county Ag commissioner (both of these agencies can audit!)

If you’re someone who is responsible for completing weigh tags, or completing the CA Grape crush report- these compliance tips are for you.
