If you’re
like our tasting room manager, there is a very real possibility that when
someone says “fruit set” your instinct says Pier One. If you are more like our
vineyard manager (and less excited about home décor) “fruit set” has a whole
different meaning, and it’s a whole lot more relevant…Fruit set is the third stage in a grape’s growth cycle, and here on the wine farm we are well into it. When the flower on the vine gets fertilized, a seed (with a big juicy grape to protect it) begins to develop. Not all of the flowers get fertilized, so this is (like all of ‘em) an important part of the growing process.

What?! Harvest?!?? Grow baby grow!!!
