2007 Harvest Reports Being Posted on Louis/Dressner Selections Site! It won't be the harvest of the century, at least anywhere north of Valence, but there is hope for a good crop in lots of spots! It was a bizarre and particular year, featuring an early budding, intense springtime heat, and then lots of rain and a lack of maturation from the Beaujolais on up. At least through the third week of August. But there has been beautiful weather, with sun, and a north wind for the past three weeks in much of France! On est sauvé....peut-être! The early reports are coming in on my corporate, non-self-promotional site and you ought to take a look: Follow Catherine Roussel's Mushrooming Season!
It's remarkable how different that guy looks when he doesn't shave for a few days. |
