Our first look at the new vine growth suggests a medium-sized crop. The added rain is giving us plenty of growth. I expect some flowering in May.

In our last newsletter, we talked about the big rains. This time we can tell you it continued. All the reservoirs and lakes are full and God did what the state of California could not do.

This year’s high amount of rain has been great for the vineyard. It helps cleanse the soils and gives us reserve water for irrigation.
