For the second year in a row, California’s grape harvest is expected to set a record. The Preliminary Grape Crush Report indicates the state crushed 4,685,075 tons of grapes in 2013, up 7 percent from the record set in 2012. Red wine varieties continue to account for the majority of production with 2,405,942 tons crushed statewide in 2013 and white wine varieties contributed 1,824,625 tons. A small amount of raisin grape and table grape varieties made up the remainder of grapes crushed for wine in California in 2013.

George W. Jean, Jr. died in Sunnyvale. Arrangements are pending through Black Cooper Sander Funeral Home.
