I had a load of custom made hardwood flooring delivered to a winery parking lot when I lived in Napa  then my thought was I would drive over load it up in my pickem up truck and bring it over a few bundles at a time.. they weighed a lot.well my truck had the plastic liner.. and the runs of the HW were 10 to 12 feet ( I had them custom milled) so the back of the pick up was down I figured they weighed so much no need to tie them I was only going 1 mile.well I had to cross Silverado Trail and its 55 mHP so I punch it a bit and the load slips right out and lands smack dab in the middle of the hwy... wine tasters coming to a quick halt thankfully no one got hurt and I was able to rescue my HW flooring.. no damage it just kind of plopped down.. glad your OK  phew that had to be very scary.

Richard, the seasonal peaks are basically Sept-Nov for apple, pear and hop harvest and then there's a mini peak again in June/July for cherry harvest and apple tree thinning (but apple acreage and volume of picker labor needed in the Fall dwarfs that of the cherry crop and wine grapes are mostly machine harvested these days around here).

There is a lot of freedom on WordPress (.org not .com)The best part about setting up your website is you can be in your pajamas and drinking wine while you do it...

@Nicolas Paez @Jon Holdman @Wayne BrooksThank you for your insight. 

@Nicolas Paezhow do you determine the "inside"?

@Nicolas VinotAppfolio seems to be for bigger players.

@Nicolas Paez Thank you for your insight.

I love the area, I was born and raised there and it's beautiful and has amazing wine, picturesque orchards and hiking and beaches and waterfronts and the most friendly people you can imagine.
