While the entire state of California has not experienced significant rainfall this season, much of Sonoma County has received an average precipitation amount. Rainfall amounts in the vineyards have shown 30 or more inches of rain in vineyards throughout Dry Creek and Alexander Valley.

Walking through one vineyard recently, after roughly a quarter inch of rain, shows the beginnings of Spring. It's too early to tell what Mother Nature will bring this season, but I'm thankful she brought rain to Healdsburg.
