SWING INTO SPRING
Even though the official first day of spring isn't until March 20th, every year around this time I start looking desperately for signs of spring. This past week I found a few: those v-shaped wedges of geese flying north, the robins in the cedar trees, the days getting longer and yesterday we hit a gorgeous 70 degrees. Before you know it the Sun Singer patio will be open for your enjoyment.
 
Spring is an exciting time in the Wine Country. Bud break occurs mid to late March or as deemed by Mother Nature. Once the new buds 'break wood', the newly grown shoots (canes) can grow in length at a rate of an inch to an inch and a half a day. And, the little pods that will become the grape clusters are evident almost immediately. We start to hear whispers like "Did you hear?  Bud break has been spotted in ..."  
 
This is an exciting time because things are beginning anew. After a never-ending winter, we're all ready to come out of hibernation. That is why at Sun Singer we have created a lineup of upcoming events for your enjoyment!  This Monday you can join us to learn about the wonders of Irish whiskey, on Tuesday, March 30th Wine 103 will make its' debut as the final leg of our wine class trilogy, another Wine 101 class comes your way on April 6th and keep your eyes and ears open for details of a unique fundraiser for an exemplary, local cause the evening of Thursday, April 29th. Mark your calendar and be sure to join us for these and many more great events as we swing into Spring!
