Bud Break


An Update from the Winemaker:

A wonderous thing has happened in the "vineyard" this week. We saw the first signs of spring on the vines - the buds have swollen and started to break into real, growing stems. This means some of them made it through the winter alive! Yay!

I haven't taken a census to figure out exactly how many made it, but other than the ones that I already knew to be dead, every vine I've looked at is starting. How wonderful. And, how slightly unexpected given how little growth we got off the vines last year. Here's hoping they make up for it this summer.
