So far, we have survived better than ten inches of rain. The vines won’t be thirsty again until June

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 just completing our yearly task of pruning the vines. One of the grapes that we prune nearly last is Nebbiolo. It loves to come out early so by pruning late, we delay budbreak by a couple of weeks to hopefully carry it past the frost season.
