Danny Spur tosses pinot gris grapes into a bin as J. Curlando weeds out a bad bunch while collecting the harvest Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019, at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington. Volunteers took to the vineyards in the early morning hours to cut the grapes from the vines and vineyard manager Chris Moore and his crew were racing to bring in the grapes before any afternoon rains could damage the harvest. Four tons of Gewürztraminer and four tons of pinot gris were harvested Tuesday, with the remaining, as yet unweighed pinot gris coming in Wednesday. Moore says this is the "best year, best fruit ever" in his 13 years at Edwards. (Sean D. Elliot/The Day)
