The Quiet Turn of the Season
FROM MINI BYERS AND VINCE VIDRINE
There is a subtle shift in the vineyard this time of year—a slowing, a softening of pace that feels almost like a held breath. The air carries the crispness of approaching winter. The leaves, once a vibrant chorus of green and gold, have drifted entirely to the ground, leaving the vines bare and honest. In these quiet moments, the vineyard seems to speak in whispers, offering us time to prepare, to observe, to tune ourselves to its rhythms.

There is a moment—sometimes brief, sometimes lingering—when the vineyard exhales. When the last bins are pulled from the field, when the final press load falls silent, when the air in the cellar shifts from the heady heat of fermentations to something cooler, calmer, more watchful. That is where we find ourselves now.
