Whatever the weather

We continue to appreciate the effort and dedication the vigneron put in to tending their vines. Some vigneron choose to prune their vines shortly after the end of the vendange (harvest), probably because it gets the job out of the way and generally provides better working conditions. But not everyone agrees that it is the best time to prune. Some prefer to wait until early in the year, ensuring that the plant is suitably prepared, having stored away its nutrients during winter. Some also believe that pruning at this time of year encourages the first growth. The problem however is that the weather can be far less favourable for the vigneron.

That said the commute to work isn’t bad.

It looks just like it’s been dusted with a sprinkling of icing sugar.
