In the Vineyard
 Following bud break and the beautiful addition of green to our vineyard, flowering has begun. Small flower clusters are appearing at the ends of the young shoots. Pollination and fertilization will take place a few weeks after these initial clusters have appeared, resulting in a grape berry with one to four seeds. During fertilization, the pollen fertilizes the ovary, which produces seeds that the grape berry will encapsulate. We hope for good weather this time of year, because detrimental weather such as heavy rain or wind can severely affect the fertilization process, resulting in poor fruit set.
