📰 News we're reading

• While thousands of acres of grape vines are being pulled out, why are these wineries replanting? (norcalpublicmedia.org) — Calistoga’s Chateau Montelena is bucking the trend of vineyard removals by acquiring a new 73-acre Chardonnay vineyard and completing a decade-long replanting of its estate, signaling long-term confidence in Napa Valley wine. Alongside Spring Mountain Vineyard’s massive replant, these moves show how high-end producers are investing through the current industry downturn and betting that demand for premium bottles will rebound.
