Our grapevines are on the fast track.  We’re about four weeks ahead of schedule so we’re starting shoot removal, hedging, leaf removal, and spraying for mildew control.  Irrigation is on our minds this year.  We will make it but we do have a water crisis and we really need rains this coming winter.  Supplies are low and wells are producing less.  

We are right in the middle of growing the 2012 grapes.  The crop is taking shape and looks promising.  We are starting to prepare for harvest mode.  It’s that time again.
