Bud Break - Halter Ranch

One of the best parts about visiting wine country is spending time around the vines. There is something romantic about enjoying a glass of wine in the midst of the vines that produced it. The vineyard is alive and working on that next vintage while you get to enjoy the fruits of its past labor. Every day in the vineyard is change, growth, and progress.

Pictured here is a Cabernet Sauvignon vine and its buds preparing for flowering. The buds are about to burst open and flowers will spring forth. Then the fruit will set and begin to grow. The process will continue and in a few years there will be a bottle of wine that started right here. How cool is that!
