1994
HARVEST: This was simply the vintage of the
century. What a classic growing season. Winter rains were down a bit
and the ground had a perfect balance of moisture to insure vibrant
early vegetative growth but not an overabundance that can result
from late winter or heavy spring rains. Bloom was uneventful and due
to the balanced spring weather clusters were small and not very many
in number. Early August was hot but quickly returned to normal
(foggy mornings, warm breezy afternoons). This weather pattern
lasted through September and the first of October. Beer of choice:
Smithwick’s from Ireland (pronounced smidicks). Had it brought
in from Canada as it is not available in the states. A couple of
good friends were running beer that year!
