Ka-Bloom!

Last week marked the magical time in the vineyard known as bloom! The vines are beginning to flower and self-pollinate themselves into fruit set which will yield the delectable Pinot Noir grapes we all worship and sing praise to. No birds, no bees required for pollination amongst the vines; they can do it themselves thank you very much. Bloom also signals the 100-110 day mark until harvest (but as always we’ll have to see what Mother Nature brings us this summer). A toast to the explosion of bloom in the vineyard! Cheers!
