Workers are illuminated by lamps on tractors as they harvest Chardonnay grapes at Bricoleur Vineyards in Windsor, Calif. on Tuesday, August 27, 2020. Both California wild fires and Covid-19 have had an impact on vineyard harvests this year, but most particularly concerns over smoke taint from the wildfires burning in large portions of Northern California. Thin-skinned grapes, such as the Pinot Noir grape, are particularly at risk of smoke contamination, though the more traditional reds including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Syrah are also at risk due to their need to stay on the vine longer and therefore be exposed to the smoke for a longer period of time.
