Spring is everywhere!
|
It is spring! Everything is bursting into leaf and flower and the whole winery property is alive with activity. It seems whether it is around the tasting room, out in the vineyards, up at the winery, or at the office – every time you look around there is hustle bustle.
This is a very lush, green time in the county, as the hillsides are still green. There are flowers everywhere. Camellias, Azaleas, and Rhododendrons grow abundantly in Sonoma County. The Roses are budding out, as are the Iris. Moss on the trees, ferns, and new bright green leaves complete the picture.
