Third Leafing and happy vines

[BlueStimulator]

The Viognier vines are happy clusters are growing well. I hope this continues all the way through the fall. I can't believe how much change in one year

WOW.. Just.. WOW!

So, let me ask, do you sit out there with a bottle of wine and just look at them for hours on end??

It's ok, you can admit it......

It's ok, you can admit it......

Ok so once or twice a week I walk through the Cabernet and Viognier rows and think I sure hope I can make a drinkable wine. I usually do this while doing some light pruning. I do have 6 more Viognier I started a couple of weeks ago. All of my starts died, not sure why, so I had to buy the new vines

Did you hedge them, or is that just good training? This year mine are growing so fast I'm lucky to keep them tucked in the wires!

 

[BlueStimulator]

Sort of hedging as they grow, prune the creepers and try my best to keep the vines in the wires
