🍇 Harvest is HERE — and fall is closing in fast! 🍂

If you've got vineyard questions piling up, September is the month to get them answered. We've got two Live Vineyard Advising sessions this month with Fritz, plus a happy hour to unwind with fellow growers.

Not every cluster on the vine ripens at the same rate, and that gap can catch up with you at harvest.

Fritz in our grower guide walks through green cluster thinning at veraison, a simple step now that pays off with a much more even, uniform crop when it's time to pick.

Had the chance to completely renew the trunks and cordons on this freeze-damaged Grenache Noir block at Desert Willow Vineyard!

Canopy management season is in full swing, and this is where a lot of the vintage gets decided.

Leaf pulling, shoot positioning, hedging, the timing and technique matter more than people think, and a little guidance goes a long way.

Inside , I break down exactly how and when I make these calls in my own consulting vineyards, so you're not guessing your way through July.

One of the most common things we hear from growers: "I'm the only grape grower I know."

That isolation is real, especially for smaller vineyards without a local viticulture community. It's exactly why we built Virtual Viticulture Academy, so you have somewhere to bring your specific questions and get a real answer.

Whatever stage your vineyard is in, you don't have to figure it out solo.
