Back Home in the Vineyard


We returned home to the vineyard this week after several weeks in Texas and the Gulf States.  The weather in the south was warm and when we got home the grapevines were growing like crazy.  Chris, Lee, Quentin, Colton and Mike kept the vines pruned and looking great.  The grapes still have a lot of growing to do but their clusters are filling in nicely.  The sunshine and rain keep us confidant that this season will be just as prolific as last season was even if it is a few weeks later than last year.
We continue to wait for the grapes to change color as they go through veraison.  In just a few weeks, we will have to put the bird nets in place so it is imperative that we get everything pruned, tucked and taped before we the grapes begin to ripen.  
The clusters are closing and as long as we can get some good hot temperatures, it looks like a good year.
