One for the Ladies . . .

Cue the Barry White music. Thought the ladies might like these pictures from some older Chardonnay vines at Keefer Ranch. The heel to the boot (if you will) was grafted onto the vine as a way to protect the vine from a nasty disease called phylloxera (sp?). The graft is phylloxera resistant which would hopefully prevent the disease from travelling down to the roots and killing the vine - at least I think that's how it goes. :-)
