Whereas British vineyards are switching to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it appears that Canadian provinces are moving to Gamay, the predominant grape grown in Beaujolais. As Gamay is another short-season grape variety, perhaps we should be planting some of that as well to replace the Albarino.
Well, maybe we won't be planting anything more given the shite weather we've been having. Unrelenting wind, unrelenting rain. As of yesterday, we've had 89 mm of rain, close to the 96.8 mm LTA. I'd say that today we will have reached the LTA and the month of April will prove to be a washout. The poor farmers haven't been able to plant their crops nor let their animals out on the land.
At least we won't die of thirst.
