The time of harvest is determined primarily by the ripeness of the grape as measured by sugar, acid and tannin levels with winemakers basing their decision to pick based on the style of wine they wish to produce.For more information on Cuvée Collective, future NFT drops and how they’re bringing the worlds of wine and NFT's together in Web3, please visit https://www.cuveecollective.comMentions: Marla Lopez, Sonoma County Harvest Fair, Virginia Wine Festival, Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta, Catch the Crush, Nicole Barnett.For more information the following event, please click on the name of the event. on A Night of Spine Tingling MusicWines For The HolidaysBottle Joy Witches Be Crazy Apple Palooza The KeeperWines we enjoyed this week:  Prototype Chardonnay, Reef Ridge Sauvignon Blanc, Elsom Cellars Syrah and Ramey Pinot Noir.Please find us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WineTimeFridays), Twitter (@VintageTweets) and Instagram (@WineTimeFridays).
