We made our third pass through the vineyard and finished this weekend. We finished thinning some rather heavy growth for this time of year and tying the last of the loose vines. I've done the second to last mowing for the year, weed-whacked the roadway, and now we're set for summer. The weather has been alarmingly mild, but a heat wave is approaching, as a result the vines have really taken off with the milder weather.
Our next vineyard work will be one last pass to clear any over-growth obstructing the output from our sprayer and to determine if second crop should be removed. We'll also hoe the vineyard one last time before netting.
The wines are selling well and by the way - our 2006 Toucan Cuvee is drinking beautifully. If you haven't got yours, consider stocking up before it's gone. We only made 128 cases.
