wine-growing game said karl, you never blame the weather. it is what it is. you work with what you can control and go from there. >> when you are testing the sugar content, how much is based on taste? >> that's where there is no real answer. when i come to make a decision, you look at the ph in the sugar which you get in the lab. at the end of the day it's all about flavors. we are farming about 2200 acres and i consider myself a flavor farmer and a tannen farmer. that goes into the wine. what does it taste like and feel like? >> we are waiting for the sun to come up and we have a bunch of men and women. >> it will be off the vine before too long. >> another windy morning here in livermore. >> so bob, it is kind of unusual that we had the cool weather. we had to be experts and what to do.
