Vineyard Check

This morning I walked the vineyard and snapped some pictures.  Everything looked beautiful and I was quite satisfied.  Most shoots have several leaves, all of the future grapes are out and ready and flowering will begin soon.  Obviously sooner for the chardonnay and the sangiovese than for the cab & merlot.

So now we’re getting pelted by hail and even worse, the forecast has a chance of frost twice this week!  The old boys around here always say “watch out for the Easter freeze” and we have a decent chance of it this week.
