Hot Zinfandel Weather

We expected the heat to arrive earlier this week, today it caught up with us. At 1 pm it was 103 in the shade both dry and windy. I think the vines like some heat but this must have been a shock to the system. I was out at 6 am working in the vineyard and as soon as the sun came up I could feel the impact of what was to come - a burning warm, a feeling on your skin that a hot day is in the making.

We're working inside this afternoon, I'm doing paperwork and looking into new bottles and cork options, while Terrie's painting a wall in the winery a new shade of green.
