Just a few days away from bud break and these vines will take off. It’s this time of year as I see the rebirth of the grape vines that makes all the work, blood, sweat and tears throughout the year worth all that effort. They’ve gone to sleep only to be energized and ready to spring forth as they awaken. Just as I loved the ancient history, tradition and ceremony of growing olives this too is similar in its rich ancient tradition. It’s more than producing a crop, it’s being a part of grape growers/farmers over the centuries who faced the same obstacles and joy as they began their season again.
