For most of us, a couple of degrees doesn’t make too much of a difference. For farmers – especially grape growers – it can be time to sweat their livelihood. And Wednesday night, that’s what several of them did.
“We’ve actually had four frosts this spring. The first one or two were back in April. Those did do some injury to the edges of the vineyards in low-lying areas. The one we had last night is more potentially serious because the vines had leafed out and have shoots that are six to eight inches long. Having said that, it’s a little soon to assess the damage.”
He said the balance wineries seek is a simple “temperature differential” – cold air settles, warm air rises.Thursday, Ferrante stood in his vineyard, remaining optimistic. Sigel said within the Grand River Valley’s two-mile wide band on each side of the river “is a tremendous patchwork of diversity in terms of elevation and frost flow.”
Tuesday, Lake County had a frost advisory, he said. Ashtabula County is separated into two zones, with the one closer to the lake under a frost advisory. Kahn said about 80% of the county is inland, and that area was under a freeze warning. Sigel said generally the region is a good place to grow grapes because it’s near Lake Erie - a moderating body of water - and the river cavity drains cold air.
Hundley Cellars is small, growing Riesling, Vidal, Seyval, Traminette and Niagara – “cold hearty varieties,” she said – across 4.5 acres. Being that small, the winery does not use wind machines, which cost $15,000, she said, adding the business might experience “30 to 40 percent loss; that’s optimistic.”
