It’s been a while since the last vine diary post, and you can imagine things have changed in the vineyard in that time. We missed posting pics of the vineyard in full bloom (which smells fantastic), but here are a few pics of a younger vine in bloom.

Though the cab franc took most of the damage from this spring’s late frost, both it and the Chardonnay are doing well this summer. Can you notice the difference between the Cab franc and Chardonnay clusters? Cab franc clusters are a little looser than Chardonnay clusters, which are generally tight and dense.
