Grenache! It's on its way...

Another fun video, this time in one of our newly-rented grenache vineyards, the grapes are starting to ripen faster!!!

Early signs of ripening in the Roussanne

A couple of short videos that I took almost two weeks ago now, but I thought they would still be interesting, tomorrow I'll go down and show you how the roussanne looks now.

Taking a look at some unpruned, untreated vines

Another video I took the same day, in the same vineyard.  The vines that we knew were going to be torn out, we obviously didn't spend the time to prune them.  Here's a look at what happens when vines go unpruned and untreated:

Tearing out some vines!

So, since I've been really bad about blogging lately, I've decided to start uploading some videos I've been taking in the vineyards. Tell me what you think of them!
