To frolic . . .

I woke up this morning reflecting on an invisible line in my life between fall and winter. 80 on Tuesday has finally turned to grey cool weather.

According to Websters to 'frolic' means to:

1) gambol merrily; to play in a frisky, light-spirited manner; romp: "The children were frolicking in the fields."
2) to have fun; engage in merrymaking; play merry pranks.


We frolicked for sure! While Rick watched and others listened intently, our Winemaker, Larry Langbehn our Cellar Crew: Jeff, Brittany Logan and I playfully layed seed to our open fields with a new crop of assorted poppies.

Just in time for rain, can't wait to see our handiwork in action. A great time was had by all :)


Quick commentary, I found Wilfred Wongs' piece "Does 'Green' sell wine?" in the Nov/Dec issue of Vineyard and Winery Management an interesting, thought provoking read. Then PAULG's blog November 5 blog "green acre" www.paulgregutt.com came up and I have to tell you I absolutely agree.

As strong adherents to the California Sustainable Winegrowing Program; if we are mindful of our cultural pratices, I suggest that sustainable is likely enough. Any thoughts?
