LaDolceVita ... Back Quarter

Today I was trying to take some photo's of our new babies in "the Vineyard", but alas MsJan's camera just isn't quite up to the task. This was the best of the bunch:


After a seminar last weekend on vineyard management techniques, all the vines got a serious haircut. Now the clusters are all bathing in the beautiful Sonoma County sunlight, ready to develop the extraordinary deep purplish-red color I expect from a Cabernet Franc. Last years was noticeable pale, and like humans, grapes need sun exposure to develop a nice tan!

BTW, the little gate is up to keep the Gate from attacking MsJan's vegetable garden.
