Following the earliest harvest in recent memory, we had a warmer than normal dormant season, with about 2 inches below average rainfall. Now, we are starting the 2015 growing season at the earliest date - by far - in recent memory. The vineyard is ready for budbreak, and the buds are breaking uniformly across all of our blocks. Hopefully we don't get a heavy frost in the coming weeks.
I'm not a scientist...or a politician...but, does any farmer really believe that there isn't some sort of climate change occurring?
