Even though it is sometimes raining, hailing, snowing, or all three at once, Spring is definitely upon us. At Cowhorn, we have had budbreak in the cherry orchard and some of the white vines, but not in the red vines. The first deliveries of asparagus were last week, but the artichokes are still recovering from winter. The spring greens are up, but the peas are still sleeping. The song birds are arriving, but the robins are still here. Everyday is new! And speaking of new, welcome to the Applegate Wine Trail blog. Thanks to the folks who volunteered to set it up and for asking me to be the inaugural writer. After I figure out how to post this, I’ll move on to actual musings about the wines and the valley!
