The grafting team arrived at 6:30am today, Saturday May 18th. My 154 pinot vines and 200 pinot vines in a neighboring vineyard were to be grafted over to chardonnay.Step one was to cut the shoot head off the vine. Then the gentleman doing the grafting peeled a little bark off the stump end, and made a small slit on either side of the trunk. Into each of the slits he slid a chardonnay bud and wrapped it with a white tape.
It took until 3:00 pm today to do all 354 vines.
