I realize that it's not yet even close to summer, but I can't help it. I'm dreaming about apples.
Maybe it's because I drive the Gravenstein Highway on a regular basis and just recently I saw the peak of those white blooms and as they faded into the startling green of those emerging leaves, I started thinking about the middle of summer and apples.
The smell of the blossoms is one thing, but you know, when you're driving that highway at the peak of harvest of Gravenstine apples, the fragrance, the perfume, the life of those apples is everywhere. It also means that soon after, there'll be vinification and grapes a plenty. Savoring Sonoma, I'm Clark Wolf for KRCB.
