Well it's only about 88 degrees in the shade right now, but yesterday was good and HOT and today and this weekend it's expected to bake and reach well over 100! The vines love it! Except for the young vines we just planted, those I'm hand watering every other day to keep them alive.
We just finished racking the 07 wines, the Estate Port, the Estate Zin and Petite Sirah are all coming along nicely. And we're doing some early preparation for this year's harvest. We have our barrel order placed, I'm looking into new bottles, and alternate suppliers for some materials.
Next in the vineyard I'll make a second pass to sucker unwanted growth and to tie vines that might get caught-up in the tractor when mowing. So, if you're driving by the vineyard wave at the farmer in the hat.
