The 8500 vineyard is coming up very even and in excellent balance so far. We are just in bloom now and although we had a little weather yesterday I don't think it will have much impact, it was widely scattered Tstorms / showers not a lot of water. Otherwise it has been pretty spectacular, lots of sun, it has been very windy but I don't see much wind damage in the vineyard. Ulises has applied the second round of spraying, and I suspect that as long as the usual post frontal winds come up and dry everything out very quickly. There are no real issues in terms of mold / mildew at this time, everything is open and exposed.
