This is what it looks like in Napa this week. It's spring and the flowers are starting to bloom in the vineyards. However, it's still much colder than I am comfortable with.
By this time of the year the vines are pruned and tied down. At this point we start counting the number of buds per vine to begin formulating an idea of how much fruit we could potentially get this season.
This is a nice juicy bud on a cane. It's officially Budbreak in the vineyards. Exciting stuff.
But what's even more exciting is that this past weekend Todd and I bottled our white wine. Finally we have something to show for ourselves (besides a pile of receipts). It didn't feel real until we held a corked bottle in our hands. We still need to label and package the bottles, but at least they are bottled and available as proof. I'll have to post that soon.
Happy Spring Everyone!
