Winemakers Notes:

All our grape varieties are finally in bloom.   The timing is very good this season, the rain has stopped and the sun has emerged along with some warm temperatures....an ideal situation for good fruit set!!   Grape blossoms are not very showy...just small greenish blooms but they do have a nice aroma.  Check out these photos of the grape buds.
