Is it Spring yet?

Welcome to my first entry. This is my attempt to provide an up-close look at our vineyard as it progresses each season. We're just a small winery attempting to make the best Pinot Noir our little Maboroshi vineyard can. Now in its 6th year of growth, that has proved a daunting task this year. It appears spring may never come to our region of Sonoma County. Now in our second consecutive month of overwhelmingly rainy weather, we're beginning to think the earth has shifted and Northern California is on the verge of becoming the new Seattle. But at last, the dormant vines are starting to awaken and the first signs of budbreak have appeared. Let's just hope the sun will muster a bit more courage so these little guys will have a chance to grow.
