Wines I'm Making: Vines Pruned (2011)

Today I finally got around to pruning the grape vines. The buds have already begun to swell and the pruning wounds are weeping a fair amount, but that's pretty typical.

A row of freshly pruned vines is always a hopeful sight. This year, I hope the summer weather is less cold. I hope the grapes ripen more fully. I hope to make very good wine in 2011. We'll see.
