Great video thank you!

This Gus looks and sounds like Ted Cruz:)

You should be wearing saftey glasses. You almost poked your eye

Awesome interview. We need more of the elder statespeople growers on KZfaq!

thank you. my mom gave up on her grape vine because it was dying so quick and i told her we can fix it, its just a little research. now im confident for this season

That vine is more than a pencil size thick...How old is this grapevine and whats the best fertilizer to get the vine to thicken up

Boss: "Late night last night? Out with the boys for a bit? Me in my head: Literally up until 1a watching Bedrock videos of tank sampling and vine repair 😩

Awesome content!

Great stuff! Love these videos!

Great explanation, thanks.

Nice video! I have one question. I have a 10 yr old vine at home over the porch. I am going to make reforms in my house and the porch will be 3 ft lower. Can I drastically prune the plant to get new growth at the level that I need it? Thank you so much!

Great information!

But what is your annual precip there in Lodi?

Morgan, LOVE your videos and your winemaking style, and of course your knowledge of historic CA vineyards. But these vineyards are Central Coast, as are the Santa Clara, San Benito and Monterey vineyards you previously visited. Would love to see a true Southern CA tour, the obscure vineyards south of Santa Barbara.... However, this is Central Coast, not Southern CA.

Love driving by this vineyard on the way to the coast. Always a great sight and great landmark, halfway up the mountain before the big drop down to Boonville.

No other videos were showing me how to tell the difference with healthy vs. dead wood. Thank you! I have a 50 year old grape vine that I'm attempting to cut back. It's so hard to know where to start!

Hello! What month do you do this? What tape do you use to make the bandage?

In australia we call that rust mite. We see that in our vineyards particularly when fungicides have been used that kill off or sterlise the female predatory mites. Over use or high rates of Sulfur i.e. 600gm/100L rate. Using Mancozeb, Polyram, Chlorpyrifos, and other harsh fungicides will also create mite problems.

Awesome grow. Is this Cabernet growing on its own roots?

Simply amazing vines.... 👌

So so great. Super interesting thanks for a great video. Love Chuy’s giggle.

Love the videos. Please keep them coming. Well Done.

These videos are really beautifully put together. Thank you.

Looks like you guys were having fun. I am a hobby wine maker, this year I got 100 lbs of petite sirah and the BRIX was 21 and pH 3.20, does it means that the grapes were not full ripe ? Thank you.

Great video. Syrah is my favorite wine but I haven't yet tasted Petite Sirah, one of these days. Hope your Petite Sirah wine came out good without smoke flavor/smell. At 18:32 you mention climate change, I think it is a code word for #globalwarming but temperature data from NOAA starting on March 28, 1893 to present shows a cooling trend. I look it up data for Sonoma, CA but NOAA has no weather station there, the closest that I could find was Vacaville, about 25 miles (east) on a strait line from Sonoma. The hottest day in Vacaville was 115 F in June 15, 1961, and in that year there were 7 days of temperatures above 110 F. It hasn't got to 115 since. We are constantly bombarded (gaslighted) by the news media, politicians and other interest groups about global warming/climate change but the data from the U.S. government does not support that claim. Wishing you good wine making.

Great video Jake but don't bet your career on climate change (#globalwarning) specialty in California, it is just pure politics because temperature data from 100 + years shows a cooling trend. Also Alpine discoveries show that the pre-industrial Roman era was warmer than today. In fact most of the last 10,000 years since the end of the last ice age were warmer than today.

At what temperature do you ferment the Zinfandel, thanks.

So you guys are wearing facial masks in open air because y'all have COVID and don't want to infect the vines or are the vines already infected with COVID and you don't want to catch COVID from them ?

People see the passion and experience which leads to the mastery of grape growing and how fine wine is nurtured into the bottle. For some fine wine is more than a business, it is an obsession!

Great they attract grapes too..

July 31st... the earliest I have ever picked my cabernet (socal). Brix at 26.

900 tonnes! Small!? You guys are not small by Québec’s standards! 😉 Beautiful video!

Thanks for the videos. You all have done an awesome job on them .

Thank you!!! This is today’s bonus to yesterday’s email offering.

Great stories, like great wine, go hand in hand.

Always great stories. Thanks.

It's just that you talk too fast. Could you say why the leaves of the vines are so shiny? What vines are these? Thanks in advance!

Good Morning! All is well? I live on Ilha de Itamaracá, near the capital of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. I'm following this channel. Could you put subtitles in Portuguese or Spanish?

I opened the 2019 this evening. The wine is just, WOW. This video was why I ordered it. The work you did shows in the glass. Amazing wine, thank you.

I have a single Thompson vine that I bought this year. My initial plan was to build a 5 foot trellis above a 25 gallon planter box, but I prefer the style in your video. Will the Thompson grapes adapt this shape, or do you recommend another system. How many season should I remove the grapes before allowing them to mature. I live in Sacramento and if you make a yearly follow-up video on the progress of these vines, I will give you all the lemons and oranges you will ever need. I will be following your example if I Thompson’s can be trained to this way.

Get those bottles horizontal geez.

Wow that looks so ancient lol

Thanks

Well. A bit of a drama with your wine. Glad I have a frig full. Just had a friend return a 1.5 liter bottle of Bedrock heritage from 2012 that he had been keeping for me in his cellar. Saving for the boy's Bar Mitzvah. Nice video thanks.

Thank you

what'S the horn music at the end?

So question: if you have that much vigor in that vine with so few positions, why would you not prune to a longer spur (say 4 or 5 buds) on the existing positions while new positions are being established elsewhere? Wouldn't that give the vigor somewhere to go and help balance out the vine in the mean time?

do you mean that these old vines can fruit without water?

Has this vineyard been unused/unmaintained for a while?

Me gustaría saber por qué hace el segundo corte más abajo.
