The early warm spring gave us a quick boost to the growing season. By May 8 the vines had budded out over 2 inches. There was a frost alert for Saturday, May 9 but we sneaked by at 34 degrees that night. Whew!
If the weather continues warm, expect an early harvest! Bloom should be 2 weeks early, so come out the weekend before and the weekend of Memorial Day & smell the subtle perfume of the grapes blooming.
Red wines are taking the oak slow, so expect all of the red wines to be ready by July 4th. River Valley white and Crow's Nest white will be ready to go in June. We'll look forward to seeing you in the vineyard!
