Chardonnay in Bloom

Our Chardonnay have begun to bloom. They may have started to bloom on Friday, when we had rain throughout the day. We noticed the blooms on Saturday when we were back in the vineyard working on the north end of the vineyard. It seemed that there were more Chardonnay in bloom on the north end compared to the south end. We think that the north end of the vineyard has more sun than the south end.

There is another rain event coming tomorrow, Tuesday, June 25. We hope that enough of the Chardonnay flowers have bloomed so that the rains will not have too much of an effect.
