winter storm after the summer solstice

another remarkable weather event 

don't know what it'll all mean for harvest 2013



late may: change in the weather

05/26/2013

very very dry early season

started irrigating the vineyard in april instead of june 

never expect frost after may 15th

but -- with vines in full bloom -- frost hit the bottom of the vineyard 21 may

about 20 vines were affected, they'll survive but without fruit this year 

a change in the weather

is known to be extreme

but what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?

and I'm going out of my mind


oh, with a pain that stops and starts

like a corkscrew to my heart

frosted vine one row up
