VASCM: Budbreak Report

[Jim Alberti]

Hi Folks,

We at Alberti Vineyard also have had bud break.
Info:
Alt: 950'
Location: 500' from the old Vine Hill Winery
Pruned: Jan. 15-20th
Dormant spray: last week of Jan.
Bud Break: For all vines....2-19-2014 (for some of the 667 a week earlier.
Vineyard is half 777 and half 667 on a 110 rootstock.
Rain so far this season: 7.45"

I think it would be cool to set up a quickie spreadsheet that we pass around with all the info we are all interested in as headers and pass it along to fill out. Or I could develop a fillable PDF whereby our web administrator could pick off the info into a web based database. Maybe too complex for our club, but it is feasible.
Then we could have an update of all the regions that affect the Santa Cruz Mountain Appellation.
