Winchester received a series of rains from 2:20 PM yesterday (5/22/10), and the relative humidity stayed high (>90%) until 9:20 AM.  Thus, we had about 19 hours of wetness with an average temperature of 70F, that accounted for disease risks for black rot, Phomopsis, and downy mildew. 

Also, we will have a vineyard meeting at Sans Soucy Vineyards (www.sanssoucyvineyards.com) from 11 AM tomorrow.  I hope some of you can make to the meeting.
