Misty Creek Farm & Vineyards

It's Friday night, and after two weeks worth of work we're only though shoot thinning on the first 3 acres; 11 left to go. After several hours of tractor problems yesterday (finally pinned it down to a bad ground cable from the battery) and a solution this morning, I was finally able to slip in 3 acres of preventative spraying. This spray includes Dithane, Rally and our old standby powdered sulfur. We expect rain all weekend, but with the tasting room on weekends, not much vineyard work will get done until Monday of next week.

We bottled two new wines this week: the 2008 Chardonnay and Misty Rose. We still have 5 cute puppies awaiting their good homes.
