Tough Year for Vines-2010

This spring we have had to replace about 80% of our south vineyard and 25% of our original vineyard due to frost, wrong rootstock and possible crown gall (ouch). We are trying own rooted vines now hoping to eliminate losses that seem to start at the graft. We lost almost all of our Grenache, all of our Cab Franc and quite a bit of our Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The whites do better. Just a few Sauv Blanc and Pino Grigio had to be replaced. We also decided to try Malbec since our conditions are similar to Argentina.
