It takes a while to compile the numbers from California's massive wine grape harvest. 

But here goes: 2013 was a record year, even better than 2012.  The crush records recently compiled show 4.23 Million tons of grapes, for a total crop value of more than $3 Billion.  We'll talk about the factors that led to the record harvest with Allied Grape Growers... and find out if the probable drought will make a repeat impossible this year.
