It's a little too early to be thinking about pruning yet. A lot of local vineyards are already pre-pruned and I noticed a Chardonnay vineyard, a quite sizeable one at that, close to downtown Napa that is already fully pruned. I, myself, would be a tiny bit concerned about the pruning wounds and infection of those wounds, especially on cordon pruned vines. But then, what do I know? Besides, I always like to wait until the last minute, and then panic.
A happy 2015 to all!

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring.
VG said with word-smithy flare: "The vines, weeds and fallen grape leaves all looked very pretty with their slight sugar-coating that sparkled in the rays of the rising wintry-sun." "Friends" of the blogosphere: behold poetry "penned"!
VG: I know you 'hate' that, but still, as a writer, I'm your biggest fan and encourager :-)
Yes, indeed Dennis, VG can turn a phrase or two...and back it up with a fine photo.
Here on the East Coast, winter is thus far mild--relatively speaking, of course.
Thomas: It's agreed on! :-)
Glad to see you haven't given-up on visiting and defying google!
Dennis:
The captcha problem seems to have been rectified. Maybe my threat scared the h** outta Google ;)
Interesting how that works. I typed sh** but it came out h""
Really nippy out this way too! Heating on 75 (I know...I know, I'm a wimp)
Thud: I may have to call in the Home Guard for help :)
NHW & Tomasso: Thank you!
ALW: Well, you're excused, you just left summer behind in NZ.
