Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man, I LOVE this time of year!!!
Of COURSE Late Summer into Early Fall is a magic time of year in Northern California!
And of COURSE the onset of #Harvest2013 is exciting beyond measure!

Our annual Fall Release Events are some of my very favorite events of the year, and my only ever regret is that I so rarely get to enjoy the Lytton Springs edition.
But YOU can!
In fact, you can enjoy both, because, just for your convenience, we’ve scheduled them on back-to-back weekends!
Shazam!
