Erosion Control
In the vineyard - On a steep hillside vineyard we brought straw before the recent rain storms. Photos from our work below. May it rain again soon!
Pruning Season
Some of the most important winter work is pruning - setting the next vintage up for success with expert cuts to the canes priming the plant for growth and grapes. Out with the old cut canes. For some of our clients, we also paint/seal the cut ends especially during this rainy season.
Winter Found Us
Note - this post was originally published 2/3/2014.
Who knew we would be so excited to welcome winter? The weather has chilled and the clouds moved in for a good down pour and crisp wind. On the Vaca Mountains (the mountain range on the eastern side of Napa Valley) there was even some snow!
