Full bloom underway in the prunes. And next week bud break in the grapes
Matfer is my go to pan. Mostly switched from cast. I still have them and use them but I reach for the carbon steel 90% of the time
Bloom time, prune time. The next ten days is the critical time for the crop to be set for the year…fingers crossed no major winds, frost or heat…our ability to stack sats this year depends on it. 🤞

Prune bloom is coming one week from now everything will be white with blossoms
Tagging, health checks, weighing today and here we go. Orchard and vineyard grazing crew prepping for work
Lake Berryessa’s Gloryhole is flowing. It never gets old seeing this
I believe this is called progress, Schiff is turning the corner. Next thing you know he will be in Nostr ranting about shitcoins
Bottling time. Almost all small wineries use mobile bottling. Think “rent a bottle line” truck shows us and we bottle 1-2 days as much as we can and then off goes the truck, and finished wine stays at the winery ready for the bottle aging process to begin. #nostrwine #lowtimepreference
Calm before the storm. A quiet winery today. But bottling starts tomorrow. Three days of bottling coming up. White wines up first. Chardonnay, Roussanne, Viognier and our Estate blend

Good call. Prune as late as possible. Late pruning improves quality and quantity. What varieties do you have planted?
WineClub pickups this weekend. Sun is out and grass is growing. Spring lambs move into the vineyard on Monday. Almond blooms is in full swing and the seasons are changing in Northern California.
Right there with you, I like your style…currently we have 100ish dorper sheep, 2 dogs, 3cats and duck eggs in the incubator.
Broken Money has been the best tool to get friends and family Orange pilled because they don’t know they are reading a bitcoin book until it’s too late and they are sucked in.
That is why California olive council is pushing so hard for testing. There is a lot of crap out there. I was once told by a Chilean producer he sold his oil to the USA by selling to a European company who just labeled it Italian and then sends it to the USA.
Storm is rolling in. We are supposed to get over 2” in the next 12 hours. Great for the water supply. Not good for the neighbors in socal in the burned areas 🙏
Sadly there are lots of good people stuck in Oakland
