Merlot Harvest

Early September means grape harvest for Leslie and Norm Zimmerman of Zimmerman Vineyards, a family run winery in Trinity, North Carolina. Family and neighbors get together on this day to pick Merlot grapes. There was an overcast and a little rain, which made things a little more comfortable for the pickers. The Merlot wine should be good, because Norm said the sugar content was real high this year. For information on Zimmerman wines, tastings and venue info, go to http://www.zimmermanvineyards.net/#.
