Sounds like you have a great plan, your must should be very ready for running numbers and adjusting by Sunday. Craig's definitely a righteous dude!!!

I was thinking Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but Ferris Bueller makes sense too. It's been awhile.
Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, ********* - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
I'll hang. I saw on the schedule that a few in the 9-10 time slot have lots to crush, so I'll hold @jgmann67's grapes from crushing and help the other dudes/dudettes who have larger quantities, thereby making myself stay late enough to cross paths with you.
I'll wait. If you can't get there before 11 or so, text me and I'll leave and spend @jgmann67's money on some girls on the way home...
I just saw this post...only my wife is allowed to offer my services, I make her pay dearly. Hummm, what can I extract from you, Fred?
Just kidding.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
My pickup isn't scheduled until 10, but I plan to be there by 9:30.

Christmas Eve is here!! 
I'll bring a few wines if anyone is interested. A brunello, syrah, pinot noir, viognier, lanza zin, forza and valpolicella. All are 2+ yrs old.
Some of them are actually 4+ years old. I'm finding that my habit of procrastination + wine making are paying off.

I'll be there around 9 and will also have wine.
Have fun people. Wish I was there.
I'm spent. Long day. Planning on splitting wood with my brother tomorrow afternoon. Here's wishing for rain!
I haven’t seen my grapes yet (wife will send me pics). Thank you for picking my grapes up this year Craig. You’re a lifesaver.
What flavor? I prefer the cherry ones...
I’m three hours from home. Itching to see this year’s harvest.
Anyone run numbers on their grapes yet?

Zin: 25.8 Brix, 3.78 pH
Touriga: 24 Brix, 4.22 pH
Zin was 5 lugs, plus 1 lug of Petite Sirah. Touriga is 4 lugs, plus one each of Syrah and Tempranillo.

Sweet BRIX numbers, should be nice, ripe fruit. Touriga pH 4.22...wow! Been noticing quite a few high pH’s that folks have posted, ordered an extra pound of tartaric this week and have it here on standby..just in case.

Brought the Touriga down to 3.78 and the Zin down to 3.7. D80 and D254 hydrating for the Touriga now. I'll use RP15 and BM4X4 on the Zinfandel.
