Wines I'm Making: 2025 Cabernet and Sangiovese

The grapes in our little backyard vineyard are coming along nicely. One of the four endposts rotted through over the past winter. I finally found someone to replace it, so the drop wires supporting the canopy growth are now back in their proper position. The grapes have been dusted twice with sulfur so far this season and there are no signs of mildew. Next chore will be to put the nets on that protect the ripening grapes from raccoons and other critters. Then, it's a waiting game. Last year, the grapes were greatly damaged by yellow jackets (a problem I had not had before), so this year I have yellow jacket traps up. Hoping for the best....
