Philloxera devatstated Napa in the 1880s....nearby Livermore Valley's Cabernet saved and rejuvenated their wine industry for their northern sister...hopefully the Canary Island will find a benefactor to the north.
This is a total bummer for the vines! 🌱 Hope they can fight back against those pesky critters! 🍷
