SOME EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE... Harvest Season features our very own Winemaker, Gustavo Brambila, and well deserved Latinos in the Napa and Sonoma Valley. The movie shows raw emotion at its finest...it's phenomenal!
Director, Bernardo Ruiz is a two time Emmy® nominated documentary filmmaker and member of the Academy. He was born in Guanajuato, Mexico and grew up in Brooklyn, New York.“Rising above all the other similar films on wine, Harvest Season shines by focusing on all the people involved in making the wine and not just the people at the top.” — Steve Kopian, Unseen Films
HARVEST SEASON delves into the lives of people who work behind the scenes of the premium California wine industry, during one of the most dramatic grape harvests in recent memory. The film follows the stories of Mexican-American winemakers and migrant workers who are essential to the wine business, yet are rarely recognized for their contributions. Their stories unfold as wildfires ignite in Napa and Sonoma counties, threatening the livelihoods of small farmers and winemakers who are already grappling with a growing labor shortage, shifting immigration policies, and the impacts of a rapidly changing climate.

We watched Harvest Season, and it meant so much to us, that we are making a trip to Napa this next week, Oct 27 – 30.
My husband has long been interested in migrant labor, as he worked for USDA & Dept of Labor.
