Bud break for our younger (2-3 years old) Chardonnay happened around 4/20/2018, and for older Chardonnay, it was the last weekend, (4/27/2018). Looks like we are about 1-2 weeks behind of a “typical” spring.

But as with a typical spring, rain comes when grapes break buds! Looks like we will see some precipitations this weekend. Please make sure to have a good protection against Phomopsis as we discussed in the previous post. 

Let’s hope that our season will be as good as 2017.
