It's pretty muddy at Haak Vineyards and Winery in Santa Fe.

As a result, it promises to be a vintage year -- for grape jelly.

As a result, the Galveston County vineyard is giving its red grapes away.

“They let us know they're going to have to drop all their fruit,” said John Longo, one of those getting his fill of grapes. “(They) invited everybody to come out and harvest what they can use.”

Because when it comes to wine making these grapes aren't up to snuff.

If they're not ripe, they're rotting.

And you can blame those conditions on the rain.

The vineyard has had 18 inches of rain so far this month. That's about six times the normal rate. As a result, red grapes were a complete loss, and elsewhere in the region growers saw anywhere from a 50 to 75 percent loss.

Luckily, for the vineyard, red grapes account for only about five percent of production.

“There’s always next year. Farming can be a little bit unpredictable,” said Vicki Parker, the winery’s manager.

When you think of farming, you probably don't think of vineyards. And when you think of vineyards, you probably don't think of Texas.

Yet the state is the nation's fifth largest producer of wine.

While there are only last year's bottles to remind them of what this year was lost.

“You're not going to let that get you down,” said Haak sales and marketing staffer Adrienne Kingslyn. “Rain can't keep a good wine down.”
