Launched off you know should people but then what are the challenges for a modern wine grower to clean up under Climate Change years were all very different. Lots of change weve had everything fine weather high humidity late frosts of the spring and frosts and lots of precipitation of extreme weather and we have to react specifically to that thats the challenge to deal with every year so that the grapes flourish and ripen well last month and so what makes for a good year which factors have to come together to achieve an exceptionally good wine. Like healthy this is the good of all thats a good question but its basically the whole year has to be right for the rain the sun doing the work at the right time whether its telling the soil pruning the vines or picking the grapes you have to have a real knack for doing the right thing at the right time and we think that if we think its a 2. 4 night i feel like the only right thing we can do right now is try a glass of your wine if it was good than that lets go.
