Spring has sprung and warmth has returned to the Napa Valley. Thank goodness. It was mighty chilly for awhile at our Yountville winery. We are a bit spoiled and not used to that. Nice to see the sun and feel its heat. The tender buds are safe for now. Frost season won’t be over until sometime in late April, but it feels a whole lot more normal now than it did for the first few months of the year. Now we can concentrate on the other lesser-known crop of Napa. The cover crop. It is in full bloom now and ready to do its job in creating the perfect conditions for high quality grapes. It is vitally important.
