Vino In My Dino
Home Ranch in December
November 30, 2017 16:26
We’ve received a couple of inches of rain in the last two months and you can see the greening of the vineyards bringing back life to the hillsides surrounding the winery. Fall colors are still apparent although a little raggedy looking as the leaves are falling off as the vine reverts to dormancy and the chill in the air indicates winter is coming.
Pruning begins in the Mother Clone Zinfandel vineyard readying it for its’ winter nap.
Things are pretty quiet out here while all the barrel work continues inside the cellar. Moss growing on an oak tree along the vineyard path.
I even found deer hoof prints in the rain softened soil.
