Harvest
The Blood, Sweat and Tears That Go Into Every Bottle of Wine
A Q&A session with the director will follow the movie
Director John Beck’s new feature-length documentary follows five family wineries – Foppiano, Robledo, Rafanelli, Harvest Moon and Robert Hunter – along with an amateur home winemaker and a rare all-female picking crew from Mexico, through what many would call “the toughest harvest” in their lifetime.
“Harvest” could care less about vanilla oaky finishes or fruit-forward quaffs. This is a gritty film that picks up viewers and drops them in the vineyards at 2 a.m. to see dark night picks illuminated only by tiny headlamps, 24/7 machine harvesting and the impact of 3 inches of rain on a cluster of grapes.
If you love wine and want to know how the grapes are harvested, you’ll want to see this film!
The screening of “Harvest” at Arena Theater is made possible thanks to a group of supporters who donated the money needed to pay for the rental fee: Jackie Gardener & Tom Falk, Jeri Taylor, Doug & Donna Blum, Molly Buckley, Carol Emory, Chuck & Jeanetta Miller, Debbie & Creig Hoyt, Andy Lang & Linda Kennedy, Pam Goedhart, Frank & Linda Bell, Jim & Mary Alinder, Linda Frye, Jim & Marcia Nybakken, Rob Elder & Jackie Baas.
