Notes from the Vineyard
 
The unpredictable cold and damp weather hanging around the Willamette Valley has pushed Spring up a few weeks.
 
Grower Chris Deckelmann expects to see the grapes pushing buds two to three weeks late this year. Fortunately, the threat of late frosts have spared the grapes and left no damage. Lets all join Chris in keeping our fingers crossed for a dry and warm summer.
