The first two weeks of April, during the annual bud break, is a great time of year to observe the different styles of vine training (re https://www.lodiwine.com/blog/Visual-discussion-of-grapevine-training-during-April-bud-break), while the spurs, or "beautiful bones," of grapevines are still visible. Re today's educational visual of the variants.

Visual discussion of grapevine training during April bud break

The first week of April is a special time of year, when you can observe early bud break as well as the beautiful "bones" of old vine plantings, such as in this 116-year-old Zinfandel on the east side of Lodi's Mokelumne River appellation. Bud break and beautiful bones It’s that time of year when grapevines are bursting all over with new buds. When 2025's spring equinox arrived up this past March 20, most of Lodi wine country’s vineyards were still bereft of these tiny buds. But during the last week of the month, when temperatures finally started to warm up, the bare buds began to swell, and out popped the leaves, unfurling like sails on a ship, along with the tiny precursors of grape clusters, which eventually become the flowers from which individual berries form. Early spring and April is an interesting season because the bare “bones,” the trunks and limbs, of all the plants are still quite visible. It will be another two months or so before the canes become long enough to drape over and hide the spur positions with grapevine “canopy,” the anatomy consisting of leaves and shoots essential for the process of photosynthesis, necessary to bring plants to fruition...

Super ! Les viticulteurs vont peut-être diminuer (arrêter?) les pesticides et enfin arrêter de faire des vins qui se ressemblent tous et sont de + en + degueulasses. #viticulture
"On souhaite que les Américains continuent à consommer nos champagnes et nos vins". Et de quel droit ? Sûrement pas parce que nous voulons partager notre culture et les plaisirs de la vie avec eux. Si les cochons avaient des porte-feuilles, on se passerait bien de la clientèle des Américains.

Finally got #Viticulture (with the Tuscany exp.) to the table this last weekend for a 5 player game! I’d picked up the game from one player 2 years ago, but it was the first time he’d played with Tuscany. The victor took an early 32 point win, but it was a good time nonetheless.

Also played #ModernArt, an auction game where you artificially inflate the value of your auctioned art for big profit! Or at least that was my takeaway. Either way, ‘twas a fun one!
