Carl Bachtel reports from a Northeast Ohio winery that endured a night of frost:
Tracy Hundley is mourning, in a way.
“It’s a loss and there’s nothing you can do about it. What’s done is done.”
At Hundley Cellars in Geneva, Mother Nature dropped a blanket of frost on Tracy’s newly-budded vines during Wednesday night into Thursday morning. While some of the vines, like Niagara, are okay, others were lost. That included the less-hardy Reisling and French Hybrid vines.
“That’s one of the toughest things, you know. I cried,” she told 3News. “Nothing could survive what happened last night.”
Tracy told us that she was outside at 6:20 on Thursday morning, checking for damaged vines. She found buds that were fully-frozen.
Those buds, now shriveling in the Northeast OhioMay sunshine, are all that remains of the first shoots of 2023. But all is not lost.
