Breaking Buds

The vineyard is starting to take shape as we lay down plastic to deter pesty weeds, and calico rocks to enhance aesthetics.




After the bud breaks, tender green leaves emerge.


Most of the vines have breaking buds at this point, so we have removed the protective cups to expose the vines to the sun and circulating air.


In the next 3-4 weeks, the shoots will begin growing a few inches per week. We can't wait!


We took some time this weekend to check out some cabernet vines displayed at the OC Great Park in Irvine.
