More harvest action 2006 - this time from California. The Wine Spectator has two harvest videos, from Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer, and Doug and John Shafer. No really gripping action, but the Turley video does include some interesting detail of how Helen does her sampling to determine the moment to start harvesting.

There are other videos here, including a series of three videos of an interview with Michel Rolland here. A bit banal, actually - James Suckling, who is interviewing Rolland, doesn't ask any tough questions. Indded, he comes across as a bit of a sycophant. All style, no substance is the impression we are left with.
