Fires in Western CO and Utah are choking my vineyard right now. I've only seen it this bad once before, in 2020.
That year, the timing saved me.
Same as back then, the smoke is thick right now, but ...
Tried some smoke tainted wine last summer from Niagara. It wasn't bad. But the producers, like you, have an art and a craft to achieve what they're going for and hate when something fucks a whole season up. And with this heat there's nothing better than a chilled rose (the Porch Pounder!)
New name for the produce: Burned Stack or Lost Keys
