Vintage 2016: Spring

Compared to the last 2 years, our winter has been decidedly on the mild side, but that didn't prevent Mother Nature from reminding us, first on Valentine's Day Weekend and again, on April 4th, that there is still a bit of snow and cold weather coming our way.
We've been having some very warm weather in March that allowed us to prune and lay down our canes, clear the field of the cuttings and remove our perennial rock crop. We went to check on the vineyard yesterday and found that we did have a bit of snow and the buds looked to still be dormant.
