We can see the first signs of grapes emerging.

For the 55th year, it’s time to start all over.

We are well into the grapevine pruning season and have been without rain for this winter. We have a potential forecast for rain in over the early part of February, and it’s really important that this takes place.

Here in the new world, we are a month from harvest. The grape crop looks good. We had a scare with some smoke from a wildfire but we are fortunate that the prevailing winds took it south and east of us.
