Pruning Crew making Progress

Here is a picture of the hard working young men who have helped turn the vineyard into a beautifully manicured work of art. Quentin and Dominic have been helping the last several weekends along with Cole, Lee, Elliot, Colton and Avery. The kids get a lot of fresh air and enjoy helping and making a little spending cash. Now that the sun is shining and the weather is getting warmer we are working extra overtime to get the vines finished before the buds break and we have to start worrying about weed control and other issues. The time spent now to get the vines in ship-shape will pay big dividends in the fall when we are ready to harvest and make wine. Practicing good viticulture and training the vines early is really paying off in the quality of our wines.
