Taking a stroll around a local wine growing area last weekend I was struck not only by how Spring seems to be upon us already, but also how bare and bleak the vines look at this time of the year. It’s hard to imagine that in a good six months or so all those twigs will be laden with fat juicy grapes – well worth a return visit.
Although looking a bit delapidated, there’s no doubt these old shutters do have plenty of character.
