That was our first turbulence we've had. That's pretty cool though to see, like literally we're flying through the crumbs. Where else do you think you'd fly Tanner? Above there? Below there? Typically below the clouds is rougher than above the clouds and going through the clouds is a little bit rough, but... Join Corey. You boys want some popsicles?

Oh, what a new segment, Corey. We don't get to do this very often. What a fun relationship we made when we went out to the World Ag Expo. We got to talk to the Sonoma County Wine Growers Association. Yeah, not our normal path, but I tell you what, it's pretty good wine and I'll accept.
It is going to pay off huge dividends for us because they have shipped us two bottles of wine and we're going to taste one today and meet the actual wine growers.
grape growers themselves so welcome to the podcast gentlemen how you doing we're doing great yeah we're excited to be here we've got steve and mike and uh i'm going to put their name in the show notes but it is pronounced san jacomo if i did that correctly first try yeah that's right yeah we had a little coaching before we got on camera i'm just gonna say that because it does not sound like it looks wine grower and partners how's things going for you guys
We're doing great. 2024 season is upon us. Harvest is coming probably in the next month or so. We're almost to the fourth quarter. We're big sports guys around, so we like to attribute everything into quarters and halves. We're getting close to the fourth quarter. Harvest is our fourth quarter. It's turned out to be, so far, a great vintage.
We've still got a little ways to go before the goal line. Things are looking good.
So the growing season's been good so far, no major issues?
No, we had a little bit of a heat spike. Other than that, survived it well because it was early on in the season. And things look good at this point, like my brother said. The important weather's really kind of at the very end, so we'll see what happens. But as of right now, we're looking good. Yeah, we've had beautiful California sunshine.
