Here is Joey with Greg Adams, sorting our 3200 vines at the storage facility. We drove from Sebastopol to St. Helena and spent 3 hours testing the grafts, looking for “rock star” roots and making sure they were in good health. The ones above are the Pommard, and even though they are on the same rootstock as the 667, the batch we got seemed to be in much better shape. We will see how they end up in the field and if it makes a difference.
Rather than waiting for a truck the next day, we put them in Greg’s truck and headed home with them after we were done. I would recommend this to anyone who is planting a vineyard. You can really see the quality of the vines up close and personal.
