The weather has changed and we are finally into the warm weather. The sunshine has made the buds on the Chardonnay explode. Although the growth is nearly 3 weeks behind where it was last year, we are thankful for the last several weeks of consistent weather. It allowed us to prune back all the vines and tie them down in place while they were still dormant. Now, we look forward to abundant spring rains, just enough moisture to sustain the vines throughout the hot summer months and then cool dry fall weather leading up to harvest. With weather being the way it is, we will just make do with what we get but we can at least dream, right?
The weather has been cooperating and the crowds have been coming to the winery quite regularly. If you have not had the opportunity to stop by, please make it a point to stop in and say hello in the next several weeks.
