Temperatures have been harsh across most of Idaho’s grape growing regions and we are in the wait and hope time of winter. Our vineyards have so much snow that it’s difficult to get into them right now. Mike and Pat are remaining busy with planning for the next growing season. They are also thinking logistically about planting our new grapevines and any replacement vines we will need. They will start pruning our old vines by the end of February and will probably be taking off a little less depending on how the bud swells are looking.
