spring emergence
It’s mid-March and 60F during the day for a few weeks- enough for the snow to have disappeared from the vineyard but the ground is still frozen. On a recent maintenance stroll noticed that, after three full growing seasons and three winters, vines either made it or didn’t- few exist in the between. It’s about an 85/10 ratio. At this point in their growth, the living should flourish- there isn’t much they haven’t already survived. Raise the glass to a good growing season!
