I planted a row of Chardonnay vines yesterday. Today, while pouring a
little water on the new vines I noticed sap running from the pruned tips of
NY73 and Cab. Franc vines. So, spring is here on the Calander and also in
the vineyard. Always a great time of year with lot's of hope for a good
crop and a great wine next fall.
