Beginning of Veraison

Go,go, merlot!

Go,go, merlot!

Boy was it windy this morning!  Gusts of 36 mph and I am trying to get ready for netting the vines this week.  The very first grapes are starting to hit veraison!  Now comes the hard part–battle with Mother Nature to get these grapes to the end without losing them to birds, deer, raccoon and rats!
