What might be on California's weather patterns with cold PDO and a very quiet sun. If I were a farmer, especially a grape grower, I might be worried about the result of long cold periods on my crops. Crops such as grapes require a specific number of degree days for the fruit to develop the proper sugar level in grapes that produce great wines.
