Notes from Napa: FATHER’S DAY
http://notesblog.jeffwarren.com/2010/06/fathers-day.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. It’s 5:30 am. I’m, wide awake. It’s Fathers’ Day. My favorite day of the year. I want to crack open a bottle of Champagne and light up a ceegar. I feel like Red Auerbach, celebrating another championship. I glance over at The Goobs- curled up, oblivious. I smile. Marrying above one's station has its bennies. Evil thoughts creep into my mind. I immediately banish them- after about 20 minutes. I am grinning like the cat. Why sleep when I can replay tapes in my mind? My son, JJ, comes...

Napa Valley Updates: HARVEST REPORT FOR 2011
http://napablog.jeffwarren.com/2012/04/harvest-report-for-2011.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2012. HARVEST REPORT FOR 2011. The report can be read online here. Hard copies are available at each of the city/county libraries or at the agricultural commissioner’s office at 1710 Soscol Ave., Napa. As goes the wine grape, so go the fortunes of Napa Valley agriculture. With grapes equaling nearly 98 percent of the county’s ag production in 2011, a reduced grape crush last year pushed down the harvest value of all of Napa County’s agricultural production. The 2011 wine grape crush we...

Saturday, April 24, 2010. Back when San Francisco's Mayor was caught with his best friend's wife this seemed apropos. Of course, Tiger has since put the mayor to shame. Now this isn't about puritanical attitudes regarding sex. It's about dissing "The Code.". The private peccadilloes of SF’s insouciant incumbent mayor, (or Tiger) have little interest to us up here in the Valley. The only connection is Plump Jack winery on the old McWilliams' property on the Rutherford Cross. Mr Newsome violated the Code.

Tuesday, January 19, 2010. A well thought out letter which appeared in the Star last week. RECALL FUELED BY ONLY A FEW. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Editor: I cry for my beloved city. For some 70 years St. Helena has been a special place to me. I have watched it grow from a small farm village to a dynamic, wonderful town in the heart of Napa Valley’s wine country. One of the sterling assets of the town is the excellence of the public school system that ranks in the top of all California schools. Charles A&...

Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Grape harvest up, prices steady, says Ag Commissioner. By MIKE TRELEVEN Register Staff Writer Posted: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 12:00 am. Napa County growers picked more wine grapes In 2009, but were paid a little less for them. The jump in winegrape yields increased the total value of Napa County’s No. 1 commodity by nearly 24 percent in 2009, compared to 2008. However, the average price per ton paid for fruit dipped to $2,865 in 2009, down from $3,452 in 2008. Napa County’s p...

http://napablog.jeffwarren.com/2011/03/lower-prices-and-smaller-harvest.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. REPORT ON HARVEST 2010. Lower prices and a smaller harvest combined to push the value of the Napa Valley grape crop down by 8 percent in 2010. In addition, a remarkably cooler-than-average growing season and extended harvest contributed to the $33 million decline in grape revenues, bringing total value of Napa’s 2010 grape crop to $449 million. Even so, we’re still looking at cabernet sauvignon that’s selling for an average of almost $4,500 a ton, Fisher said. Obviously, the recov...
