From the Ground Up

This picture tells a story of a very cold night but we survived it.

We are still enjoying the remnants of winter and will finish pruning in ten or twelve days. That’s 450,000 reasons to be happy! With the lack of rain, we are starting to irrigate. A chance of rain is forecast for the next three days, which would be a great help.

Today has been an exciting day. It’s the first day of harvest and we are picking ten tons each of Los Alamos Chardonnay and Los Alamos “Clone 777” Pinot Noir. We are trying to duplicate what we did in 2008 when we made our multiple Gold Medal and Best of Class winning Brut Sparkling Wine.

Spring is off to a fast start. After several hot days and a good rain, the vines are three weeks ahead of last year. 2011 was one of our coolest growing seasons, yielding one of our smallest crops.

It seems we farmers, “dirtmen”, either talk about the crop or we talk about the weather.
