There is an old French proverb that stated: “In water one sees ones own reflection, but in wine one beholds the heart of another. In our fast paced lives maybe we can slow down and enjoy the magic within a bottle of wine, an art that has been with civilization since the dawn of time.

We begin the first part of January and must be done before the forsythia bloom. We will apply our first Dormant Oil spray at this time. Our hope is we will not have bud break before April 20th. If the whether is to mild and the vines break early we will have to rely on site selection and some lady luck. Need to get back to the next row.
