Yep, Mother nature is definitly upset about something these past few years.
I haven't harvested a reportable crop in 3 years now.
The past 3 years have started with with early bud break followed by late freezes knocking out primary buds.
This year was made worse with the drought, when the critters came in and cleaned out any crop I might have had in early August..."
On the same subject, here are some tweets from Robert Wonacott, Eperon Vineyard. Note the dates:

Well it looks like we dodged last nights frost opportunity. We'll know total issue in 10-14 days. Thank goodness were so far north.

Out and about in the vineyard, time to access freeze issues from spring. Looking pretty good so far.

Vineyard is almost at 100% fruit set. To bad the frosts took such a heavy toll.
