A week of nice weather

Tomorrow Kiara and I will visit Teldeschi Vineyard. I want to check how the vines are coming along this year. As I've mentioned, I want to spend more time in the vineyard and learn from the grape growers.

This week the weather has been very cooperative. In Dry Creek, the highs were high 70's to mid 80's which will promote bloom in the next few weeks. Finally, the wet ground could dry after days of rain.

I want to ask Ray about his pruning strategy, how the late rains impacted the grapes, and about this year's balance of fruit and leaves.
