Not good @Ken Gargett

Read another article that said some “more fortunate” owners had helicopters flying low over the groves the keep the heat from the fires closer to the ground. Crazy.

If you want terrior and the vintage to mean something, years like this are what it is.  Unexpected freezing in the spring, forest fires in the summer.  All parts of doing business.
