US: Water Issues Have Dried Up

(Wines&Vines) - It’s the time of year when grapevines start budding, so Wines & Vines took a quick survey of growers from Temecula to Mendocino to gauge the timing. We also asked about water, pests and diseases. Here is what they had to say about viticulture in California, from north to south. Mendocino and Lake counties Zac Robinson at Husch Vineyards in the Anderson Valley reports that the season is off to an easy start with few worries. Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot are all showing two or three leaves with an average bud break of April 10. “So far, frost problems have been minor. We have turned on sprinklers twice.”
