Alumni & Partner Reception in Washington, D.C.

Nature flows with a graceful rhythm, guiding us through the seasons and the earth’s transformation. The grape harvest symbolizes a crucial bond between humanity and nature—a reminder of our place in the greater whole. It is a time for reflection, where the fruits of our labor represent not just ripened grapes, but our sense of unity with the natural world. Join me in uncovering the true essence of harvest and its rewards, both in the vineyard and within ourselves.

In our vineyard, our primary concern is the weather. Too hot, and the vines will dry out; too cold, and they become dormant. The natural world presents challenges that the winemaker must navigate. Alongside the fickle climate, diseases and pests, like the American root-eating bug and frelon, pose significant threats. Join us as we prepare our vineyard for harvest season.
