During the second and third trimesters, an extra 300 calories will cover the increased energy needs of most women. 300 calories is not much!! Choose foods with lots of nutrients to get those extra calories.

Food combinations that contain around 300 calories each:

• One slice of bread with 1 1/2 tbsp. peanut butter & an 8 oz. glass
  of skim milk
• One serving of lasagna without meat
• 1 small regular fast food hamburger

OVERVIEW OF WINERY/VINEYARD OPERATIONS

FARMING
The initial step in the making of wine is growing grapes. Specific varieties of grapes are used in making premium wines, but any grape with sugar content can be fermented. Successful wine grape farming is dependent upon proper soil and climatic conditions. These particular geographic regions (appellations) can be conducive to the quality of a particular varietal or to wine grapes in general.

The first step in the development of a vineyard is land clearing. This may be as simple as plowing under existing vegetation to removal of trees and leveling the dirt. Vineyards planted on hillsides must be terraced. Rocks may need to be removed. Typical water sources include wells, above ground storage (ponds), or some form of irrigation district supply. The water is then delivered through sprinkler or drip systems.
