As we approach the end of March, we are working longer days both in the vineyard and in the winery. Here the sun sets on the two rows of Chambourcin which have been pruned and tied to the top-wire of our high-wire trellis. The first time through, we were able to prune out any excess canes and determine which canes were going to be this year's fruiting canes. With the warmth of Spring the sap will begin to flow and we will be able to place the canes on the wires without the fear of damaging them. We had 2 weeks of warming weather and then the weather snapped back to below freezing and the canes have tightened up again. Hopefully next week we can get back to the vines and finish our work in the vineyard so that we can turn our attention to bottling in preparation for our uncorking celebrations in May and June. Hope you can make it out to try our new wines.
