Green Harvesting Pass #2

When the vineyard crew took to the vines last Thursday I quickly grabbed my camera.

Mike Wolf’s team was en mass in the vineyard last Thursday in pass #2 of what we anticipate to be multiple passes through the vineyard. The technique is pretty simple – wait for the beginning of verasion and then thin the clusters that are most delayed.  We are currently carrying 2 clusters per shoot.  If Mike is right about taking “draconian” measures, we could see this cut back even more.

The current projection for the week is continued moderate temperatures with morning cloud cover burning off to afternoon sun.
