Bud burst

Rondo bud burst

I've been checking daily as our weather has been extraordinary for the past week. Yet today, it was bitterly cold, with sleet and hail showers every time I tried to go outside. I finally managed to get out when the wind died down a bit. Lo and behold, the Rondo has bud burst. That's 11 days earlier than last year, at least for the Rondo. 


Unlike last year, when all the varietals had bud burst on the same day, this year it's only one. The Solaris is close and the others still have a way to go. The good news is that, although the buds are tiny on the Albarino vines, all but 2 or 3 plants have buds and are alive. Halleluja!

Solaris is close - only one bud that I noticed this advanced.

Chardonnay not there yet
