And it was a good Friday. I spent most of my day down in the East Bay running errands and having my hair done. (One just has to look good when working in the vineyard). I did a little bit of pruning when I got back up to Napa, walked Vinodog 2 and then observed my Good Friday
paschal fast with a nice shrimp/pasta dish - washed down with a Silverado Vineyards, 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Yountville AVA). Hardly fasting, I know.
I have to be finished with pruning the Cabernet sauvignon grapevines this Sunday, that includes tying all the canes down. I think I can do it, but I may need Vinomaker's help with the tying. Meanwhile, the Pinot grigio vines are going crazy: baby flower clusters are visible and the trunks are popping out all over with adventitious buds and shoots (which means lots of extra suckering work). Happy spring!
