Wycombe Vineyards in Furlong, Pa., in Bucks County, has sent out an e-mail advising customers that the forecasted trek of Hanna through the region Saturday is moving one of its scheduled picking days to Friday. Sunday’s scheduled picking day remains intact, unless Hanna throws a curve at the region and takes its time coming up the coast.
Family member Lyndsay Jurema told me earlier tonight that every year they welcome friends, family and customers to the vineyard to assist in the harvest. This weekend they are planning to pick Chardonnay and Pinot grapes. It’s not the fact that Hanna’s rains or winds could ruin the crop that is pushing up the pick date a day, Jurema told me.
“Pretty much the grapes are ready,” she said. “If I leave them on, they’re going to get overripe. They’re ready to pick now.”
I’ve mentioned in several posts how much fun picking can be, so long as the day isn’t too hot. That certainly won’t be the case this weekend. f you’re interested in joining the group and need more information, call 215.598.WINE.
