The heat wave has forced some Bay Area wineries to harvest earlier than usual.

Honig Vineyard and Winery in Napa did the same thing, harvesting its cabernet sauvignon about a month early.“As long as the fruit is tasting ripe and has all the components that they are looking for, has the right sugar levels, which it did, it was time to bring it in,” said Stephanie Honig with Honig Vineyard.
