Will this be the first vintage?

We thought it might have been last year but there was just a little too much sun and not enough rain. This year, however, is looking good. There are a lot of apples in the trees and certainly plenty of rain. Our groundsmen have been looking optimistically at our press (a small one to see just how hard this is going to turn out to be) and we have been mentally designing the bottle labels. I doubt Sheppy’s has that much to worry about at the moment but next year might yield something that is fit for human consumption.
