Manzanitas (Arctostaphylos spp.) flower and fruit when water is plentiful. To gauge upcoming conditions, they form flowering shoots at the tips of spring growth that stay dormant until the next season—like a tiny “big toe” testing for moisture.

With waters at 32C, Mediterranean tropicalization shifts into high gear

When Murat Draman went scuba diving off the coast of the southern Turkish province of Antalya and saw the temperature in the depths was pushing 30C, it didn't surprise him.

Today's Lodi Wine post (re https://www.lodiwine.com/blog/What-is-Lodi-terroir---part-2--Mediterranean-Climate-) continues our discussion of "What is Lodi terroir?" with a talk about the region's Mediterranean climate plus the potential impact of climate change.

What is Lodi terroir? (part 2: Mediterranean Climate)

Delta slough alongside vineyards located on the far west side of the Lodi AVA, where most of the region's terroir falls below sea level and is first to be cooled off by daily Delta breezes blowing in from the Bay Area. Continued from What is Lodi terroir? (part 1, Definition) Impact of Delta breezes on Lodi terroir Because it falls within a watershed immediately east of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta draining directly into San Pablo Bay (the northern extension of San Francisco Bay), the terroir of entire Lodi Viticultural Area in terms of climate is defined as "Mediterranean," a climate classification also comparable to much of the coastal wine regions of California.  Mediterranean climate is characterized by dry summers and mild, wet winters typical of wine regions located 30 to 45 degrees north or south of the equator. This includes, of course, almost all the wine regions along the Mediterranean Basin, as well as much of the California Coast between the North Coast and Central Coast AVAs...

It occurred to me that quite a lot of you might not know what pistachio nuts look like growing on the tree.
EDIT: not nuts botanically, but seeds. They are considered nuts for eating purposes.

In today's lodiwine.com/blog: Putting to bed, once and for all, the myth that light and crisply balanced white wines can't be produced in warm climate regions. Re https://www.lodiwine.com/blog/Shockingly-good-whites-and-shibboleths-about-warm-climate-winegrowing

Putting to bed the myth that light and crisply balanced whites can't be grown in warm climates

Clements Hills-Lodi harvesting of Assyrtiko, a Mediterranean grape of Greek origin known for retaining a refreshingly high acidity grown in even the hottest, dryest climate. Albariño, Assyrtiko, Bacchus, Bourboulenc, Chenin blanc, Clairette blanche, Grenache blanc, Fiano, Kerner, Macabeo, Parellada, Piquepoul, Riesling, Vermentino, Xarel-lo and more... The other day I was telling an old friend/colleague about a fantastic 20-year-old bottle of white wine grown in Lodi I recently enjoyed. How it tasted fresh as a daisy and, a little surprising, was made from Chardonnay⏤a grape not exactly considered the pièce de résistance of Lodi, a region better known as the "Zinfandel capital of the world." He stopped me and said, "Wait a second... there is white wine in Lodi?" He wasn't being facetious. Needless to say, I told my friend that Lodi is like any other commercial wine region, and any region that grows grapes for wineries that put the kazillion bottles of wine on grocery store shelves across the country has to grow white wine grapes, and lots of them...
