Preparing the vines for the 2012 vintage

13 Apr Preparing the vines for the 2012 vintage

After a relatively mild winter and abnormally early spring weather, we are experiencing an earlier than normal swelling of the buds.  The vines were planted in Spring of 2010, and this is the first year that we might harvest a few grapes from our estate property for inclusion in Heart & Hands wines.

All of the pruning is finished, and now Tom is positioning and tying the vines to the fruiting wire.
