9th Sonoma County Pruning Championship


it's leap day, so as a salaried worker who is not getting an extra 8 hours of pay, let's take a field trip to the sonoma county pruning championship! the main draw is the individual race where you're judged on speed and ability/finesse. however, there's also a "celebrity" contest with winemaker/vineyard manager teams representing some of the AVAs in sonoma county. our intrepid winemaker/vineyard manager team of megan and scott (in the photo below) were entered in to help russian river valley win it all in the relay pruning race. unfortunately, it was not meant to be...damn you, alexander valley! however, we did get some great action shots and one of the sweeping vista with the ritchie vineyard.
