In the Vineyard - Dropping Fruit

http://www.bestrussianriverwineries.com - Growing high quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Russian River Valley, or anywhere for that matter, requires careful management of the fruit load in the vineyards. Paul Sloan of Small Vines Wines and Viticulture explains why it is essential to drop fruit throughout the growing season.

Veraison is a particularly crucial time to evaluate the progress, health and balance of the vines. Paul Sloan explains why making decisions about thinning the fruit early on in the growing season will result in the best fruit the vintage has to offer.
