The PROPER LOCATION FOR VINEYARDS.
Mr.. Warner, one of tho Grape and Wine
Commissioners, says in his report -
The location and aspect of vineyard,
with,its Typographical surroundings will ma
terialy affect the quality Of the fruit. As the
morning rays Of the sun contain more vitality
or life-giving power than those of any other
hour in the day. vineyard should be so situ-
ated as to obtain the fullest benefit of the early
rays Of light and heat. In securing this ad-
vantecr, care should be taken not to expose
tho vineyard to a serious aac::rimcnt by plac-
ing it at the eastern base of mountain or
range Of hills running parallel to tho coast, as
this situation would enhance it's exposure to
injury from frost. This, at least would be
the consequence of such locations west Of the
Sierra Ncvadas, if within range of the night
winds frem those mountains.
A southern inclination of the land il highly
beneficial, as it gives the soil higher temper.
aturc, which is desirable.
Mountains so situated as to reflect the rays
of the sun. and give greater warmth to the at
mosphere surrounding the vines. as well as
those that protect the vineyard from cold and
heavy winds. especially those dry and parch.
lug ones which come over the Sierra Nevadas
from the interior. are Of great utility. and
should, whenever practicable. be taken into
consideration in selecting location for a
vineyard.
