December has greeted Oregon with torrential rains and winds. I 5, the interstate that runs from Mexico to Canada up the west coast and connects Portland and Seattle is going to be closed for days due to flooding. One hundred mile-an-hour winds have knocked out power for tens of thousands along the coast. Luckily for us at the winery we never lost power and the road running up to the winery flooded no more than usual during a big storm. All of this means nothing to the vines that are now dormant for the winter. The good part of all the rain was that the ski slopes on the Cascades are now covered deeply with snow.
Tonight as the sun set a few rays broke through the clouds. Hopefully the storm has passed.
