We have already started pruning with a small crew and will be adding more people this week. It will take the next 75-80 days to get all the vines pruned, one of the most important jobs that we do. What you prune in January and February is what you get in September and October.

We are picking as fast as we can. Our workers are doing a great job, which is good because additional workers are unavailable. Whatever happened to normal?

Now that we got doused with Holy Water and the grapes blessed by Father John at the great Harvest Party at the winery, we are moving full steam ahead, but harvest is running a little late.

Over the years, you have heard me mention the weather almost constantly. Well, here is some more. After a winter filled with rain and a cooler spring than normal (June gloom), it has warmed up, and hopefully, we are headed for something close to normal.
