Overlooking the Vineyard


Misty Morning Posted by Picasa
Vineyards are usually planted on gently sloping hills. This helps eliminate "frost pockets", which can prove deadly to buds in springtime. Some moisture is good for grapes, but too much humidity will leave the grapes mushy or moldy. Cool morning temperatures around harvest time can add crispness to the grapes' flavor.
