Last Notes npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Absolutely. Hoppy beers have much higher histamines npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Taste matters, but is ephemeral. When it comes to quality wine, how you feel afterwards is the #1 quality indicator. https://blossom.primal.net/df6ad1dbcb46d56a0cdb6947892621cd3885fccca19534f2210e2331fec3e6db.jpg npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Poison is the main option people use now That fire seems to have been too effective for me to think it was an accident npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman I don't think abv is the problem when compared to wine npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Omw npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Beer makes me feel like shit compared to wine, but now I feel like I need to drink it more. Call it, Opposition Research https://blossom.primal.net/3f9a54c0c7603a9ade7edd50012fd1895a46a99abfd8c35941b0afff50d4e62a.png npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Honestly haven't looked into it. They look at previous production value for like 5 years so I'd just now be getting to a point where it would be worth it over the next few years npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman The 2026 grape crop looks incredible so far, but we have a long way to go before harvest in October. Here is a list of things that could go wrong: - Grasshoppers - Skunks/Racoons - Birds - Low Water Year - Early Freeze (Fall) - Hail Storm What I'm doing to combat each👇 My #1 focus: GRASSHOPPERS Grasshoppers eat the stems leading to the grape clusters damaging the plant's ability to ripen its fruit. They are difficult and it looks like a bad year for them. Well, they're actually easy if you want to go put poison out in your vineyard, but I'm not gonna do that. There USED TO BE an easy organic solution, but the only factory that made Nolo Bait just happened to *checks notes* BURN DOWN a few years ago. There are organic sprays that I may look toward, but they are more about deterrent than elimination and I question their effectiveness. For future years, I could re-fence my vineyard and get turkeys, but I won't get to that in time for this year. My plan is to keep the vineyard mowed more than usual so they have a worse habitat and spray later in the year if I need to. Skunks and Racoons These become an issue in the month before harvest as the grapes begin to ripen and they can eat large chunks of the vineyard overnight. I am armed with a .22 rifle and a live trap and as long as I am vigilent about defending my holy land, this seems to work well enough. The life trap is because we've caught all kinds of things in it and want to be smart about the death penalty. Birds can be equally as devastating as skunks/raccoons, but are not as consistent of a problem. I do not net my vines and will invest in this as soon as it becomes necessary. That said, we've only lost a large percentage of a grape crop due to birds once and that was in the strange year of 2020 when California wildfires pushed a small bird off its migratory pattern into my vineyard. We haven't seen that type of bird since and most of the other birds seem to have migrated further south for the winter by the time we harvest. My owl decoys seem to do a good enough job scaring off the remaining few. There isn't anything I can do to stave off a low water year, but pray for rain. Last winter left the lowest snowpack in my memory and the massive El Niño system points toward a hot dry summer this year. We have water rights that date to the 1800s and have never had our water shut off, but this year will be a test. The grapes have deep roots and I don't normally irrigate more than 1-2x per year, so I don't worry about this too much. (I find thats the best strategy surrounding something you have no control over) Freeze timing plays a massive roll in deciding when we harvest each Fall. There are years when a freeze ends the growing season even though we wish we could let the grapes ripen for another week or two. If that happens, I still make good wine, its just different. Nothing I can do about this. Its just the reality of farming in the highest elevation wine region in North America. A hail storm has never happened to me. That said, a friend of mine in the neighboring wine region (Grand Valley) lost their entire crop to one freak 10 minute storm last year. Needless to say, there is nothing you can do about this. THIS IS FARMING No complaints. https://blossom.primal.net/cda9f41c0cca2a3618a4b4ec173fbe0c7cacce0c32a5749563b2112e90e3d4ab.jpg npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman Sir the Iran peace deal is real this time npub153xmex42x4chdf757hp3q6zxagykkek7pdgwuwd074964dkyha9s82ryu8 BenJustman The Enhanced Games are so much more interesting.
