La Vendimia 2009 (The harvest post)

Things are a bit slow on the site at the moment, It would seem that attempting to finish a Master degree, doing home renovations and trying to hold down a job are not conductive to posting. But I have been firing off a few emails to see whats happening with the 2009 harvest all over Spain, and I thought I’d put up a few tid bits for those who are interested. So far, most of the news is from Rioja, but a bit extra from all over the place as well. Things are looking fairly good so far, the harvest has finished for many of the whites in the south of Spain, with reds starting to come in, while up north things are starting up shortly. I’ll add more as they come in.
