Lodi Appellation

The crush of 2006 is in full swing. We have great old vine Zins from this area. My favorite from Michael- David is " 7 Deadly Zins ". Geez my 428 kb file is to large and I do not know how to size it down. Great pic of a harvester and AS, side by each.

That does sound interesting, so I will divulge another secret -- but just this once!

ASForums will not handle large file sizes for uploads. There's about a 100kb limit I believe. Jpegs resized to approximately 400 x 600 are handled quite well.

Looking forward to your picture!

I'm a big fan of Lodi's Clayton Petit Syrah. Mmmmm.

Doorgunner,

Resizing digital photos or reducing file size by changing the number of colors contained in the image is easy and simple with the right applications. Do you have a Mac or a Windoze machine? If a Mac, I can offer a few suggestions.

It is amazing to me that a machine can shake the grapes off like that. Love the AS in the scene as well.

Myoung thanks but i have a clone. And Jim & Kathleen - You should see this machine in action, The 4 tires articulate independly, The blowers direct the leaves upward and the shakin be happenin. The noise is very loud and as most of the harvesting is done at night - well the lights are so bright it's like a moving baseball field. Want to see more pics. Ever seen the most deathly cherry tree topper? Tim

Only took me 10 months to locate this pic!

Hey, I want one! I could make a big impression at the city council meeting - that would add new meaning to the term "heads will roll"!

Legal disclaimer: Just kiddin' ya'll. Don't report me, I'm not going "Postal".

DG - It sure made that little car disappear totally! Guess I don't have to be so careful when I prune my fruit trees.

I like the umbrella collector equipment they wrap around the trunks before shaking cherry trees.

I lived in Fresno for 35 years and traveled the Valey for that period. Seen A lot of equipment that you have pictures off. You are right the vine from Lodi is very good. My selling terretory was from Bakersfield to Lodi for a long time. That time I sold autmatic transmission parts.

Well folks a year has passed- Last nite the zin fruit was harvested! 20 Brix, we'll see how it tastes when the time is right.
And a benefit last nite was being able to watch the Lunar eclipse.
I'm forever plugging our local wines here in the Lodi area.
Give them a try, it's not such a bad place to be "stuck " in.
Or better yet stop by my trailer at any rally- I'll pour you a glass!

I was just at Costco and they had a new addition to the under $10 section, it's a Lodi zin called, Gnarly Head. I haven't partook as of yet... it was under $8, had a cool name, and was grown in such a fine place- so I got me some to put in the Airstream.

Mrs_RedSHED · 08-28-2007, 10:10 AM

I have to ask ... is Lodi where Lodi apples come from or originated from?

(apologies for the lousy grammar)
