NIMBLE HILL'S FIRST HARVEST

Good afternoon everyone,

Nimble Hill harvested it's first grapes yesterday. What a great feeling. It went very smoothly due to the great crew we had. I want to thank all of the volunteers. It could not have been done with out them. We ended up with 190 gallons of juice that is now chilled and settling. Tommorrow we will rack and start fermentation.

Take care

MONDAY MORNING IN THE VINEYARD

Good morning all, 6 AM start in the vineyrd this morning. Applied another spray. Vines are still looking strong. We are getting ready to start dropping fruit. Japenese beetle damage has been slight. Spray program is working. No sign of disease either. We could still use a little more rain to get through this mid season. Chance of showers every day this week. Keep your fingers crossed.

Take care

TODAY IN THE VINEYARD

Good afternoon everyone,

The vineyard is looking great. Sprayed this morning for Japanese Beetles and a few other things.Linda worked hard all day yesterday shoot positioning and tying. We also have recieved a lot of rain this past week. It was needed. We are still on a 7-10 day spray cycle that seems to be working well to keep the vines healthy.

Take care

Gary
