The Golden Oak
One of my favorite features of Northern California vineyards are the majestic oaks that shade many of them, breaking the regularity of the vine rows with their grand reaches — Alder Yarrow

Wine Country Sunset
Great sunsets can be found anywhere, but this particular one happens to be from Sonoma County’s wine country. Just below the silhouettes of the trees, rows of grape vines lie in shadow. — Alder Yarrow

Old Souls
I love the individual personalities of older vines like these head-pruned vines that are grown without any trellising or training. These young green shoots will eventually become wild mops of growth as the Spring progresses, like hundreds of green fountains sprouting from the dry soil. Vines like these often receive no irrigation other than what may fall from the sky,but from their gnarled roots and serpentine canes of green, they often yield the most complex of fruit. — Alder Yarrow

Patterns
Vineyards aren’t easy things to photograph. They sprawl and spread all over everywhere, and don’t exactly stay confined in the frame of a photograph well, not to mention their tendency to seem monotonous in their rows. I like this image not only for the compression of space that turns the vines into patterns, but also because in the midst of the regular geometry, you can see each individual vine has its own personality — Alder Yarrow

Between The Rows
I haven’t been to Napa in Months, but I′m headed up there in a few weeks and looking forward to sights like this. This time of year the mustard makes for gorgeous scenery, growing up between the rows and catching every ray of light in sight to create a backdrop of glowing yellow for the dark rain-sodden vines — Alder Yarrow

The New Green
For the most part in the Northern Hemisphere, the vines are sleeping — their long bare canes waving in the winter wind. Soon those will fall under the deft hands and sharp blades of workers who will leave the vines ready for the new growth that will burst forth in the coming months. Andy Katz gives us a preview of what is to come — Alder Yarrow

Fall Leaves
One of the things that I miss most about where I grew up in Colorado is the Fall colors. The Aspen trees as shocks of gold in clearings between the dark firs always bring a smile to my face. The closest I get in California these days are the changing of the leaves in wine country. This image captures so well the beauty of the light and the leaves and the carpet of gold and red that can give me a little solace in Autumn. — Alder Yarrow

The Green Leaf
You can tell a lot about a grape vine from its leaves. Among other things, according to the science of ampelography, you can often tell what grape variety it is, especially if you get to see what a bunch of grapes looks like as well. Most species have a distinctly shaped leaf and cluster. The color of the leaf will also tell you things about the nutritional state of the grapevine, with dark green indicating well hydrated, well nitrated vines, and lighter green indicating less nutrients (which is actually sometimes the desired state). I, unfortunately, don′t know the magic of reading grape leaves, so I’ll leave it to others to identify this one. — Alder Yarrow
