    Atc recommendations

    Fixing an auto siphon

    OK, no I don't know how I broke it, but here is how I fixed it in case you ever do the same thing. I have a couple of auto siphons, pump like things to start a siphon. Well somehow, the little check valve thingy came out of my 1 inch one. Over vigorous cleaning maybe? Anyway, today I went...

    2017 in the vineyard

    I thought it would be interesting to have a "year in the" thread for the vineyards, large and small. I believe we have a pretty good cross section of climates, and most surely approaches. So, perhaps weekly posting of what is going on in your vineyard? Pictures of course are extra cool...

    White barrel fermentation

    I have a new 50l Hungarian oak barrel for this year's harvest. I thought before using it for reds, I'd try a barrel ferment of a white. I'll have Viognier, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, and Sauvignon blanc as candidates. My wife says the Chardonnay she likes big buttery full Malo chards. Thoughts...

    Leaf hoppers, what do you do?

    Last year I was invaded by leaf hoppers. On the Tempranillo it got so bad it impacted ripening. So far I've had a few vines show more than 20 to a leaf, WSU's intervention number. I hate to use chemicals, but I don't want it to be worse than last year. Anyway, have you had a severe infestation...
