Vineyard News - April 2011

It has been a wet and cold spring so our vines are still asleep, but when our dirt warms up (vines read soil temp, not air temps) the buds will start swelling and soon after that it’s off to the races. The ground is rich and wet so
all they need is a bit of heat and they will really start to grow.

Jose and the guys are keeping busy by stirring the compost pile and putting some of it on the vines, mowing,
and vineyard maintenance and repair. Our crew doesn't take time off for bad weather - sure they will get under cover if it pours, but as soon as it slows they are back out there in the vines.
