To the honorable the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners: GENTLEMEN: I herewith submit the following report of the condition of the vineyards in Alameda County, as obtained by Frank L. Fowler, Esq., under direction of myself. I also submit the report of the Secre- tary of the Board recapitulating the statistics obtained by Mr. Fowler. Respectfully submitted. - CHARLES BUNDSCHU, Commissioner for the San Francisco District. REPORT OF F. L. FOWLER. LIVERMORE, ALAMEDA COUNTY, April 18, 1893. Hon. CHARLES BUNDSCHU, Commissioner for the San Francisco District, State Viticultural Commission: DEAR SIR: I herewith beg leave to submit for your consideration the result of my labors in preparing statistical information relative to the vineyards in Alameda County. I have been most careful in gather- ing these viticultural facts and figures, and, as such, you will find them entirely reliable. In addition to them I wish to present to your attention other and more general information that came to my knowledge. I find throughout the county that with but few exceptions the vine- yards have been most carefully handled, and given thorough cultiva- tion, good pruning, and training. Many vintners seem most anxious to improve their product by graft- ing the higher types of grapes on their more common stocks. There is an intelligent endeavor to experiment and improve upon the methods of making wine, and it seems to be the ambition of the wine makers to establish brands of their own. This I consider to be one of the most hopeful and cheering promises of future prosperity to the industry. The districts are as follows: Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol, Val- lecitos, Mission San Jose, Warm Springs, Niles, and Haywards. LIVERMORE VALLEY. In the Livermore Valley, I am pleased to say I have been unable to find any indication of the presence of the dreadful pest, phylloxera. Great care has been taken from the first planting of vineyards in 1881 that no cuttings or roots should be introduced from an infected district without first being thoroughly disinfected. This precaution was almost universal, whether the stock came from a known infected region or not. It was the members of the honorable Commission of which you are a member that urged upon the vine planters the necessity of this pre- cautionary course, and to5day the Livermore Valley vineyard owners congratulate themselves on their freedom from the disease, and feel grateful to the Commission for their wise forethought. The general character of the soil is a sandy loam and in places mixed with gravel, varying in color from red to black; deep and fairly rich. The growth of the vines is rapid and strong, but with few exceptions the crops are not heavy — the bunches and berries being generally small. The theory is that during the summer season the evaporation caused by the warmth of the sun is not counterbalanced by damp or foggy nights, as occur in many other grape sections. How- ever, it is claimed by many that this has the effect of producing a higher quality of grape for wine making. The crop of the season of 1892 was light, owing to severe frosts that came at a time when the vines were in bloom. The upland and mount- ainous sections escaped without injury, but the lowlying vineyards suffered severely. It is thought that at least one third of the crop was destroyed. There was sufficient cellar capacity to accommodate the crop, but no surplus. If the valley has a full crop this year — and at date every- thing points to a large yield — the present cellars will be inadequate to handle it. There is an excellent business opportunity for a large public winery that would pay the investors well. The indications are that before the next vintage the cooperage will be mostly empty. There have been about 300 acres of vines dug up this season by dis- appointed vineyard owners, but the great proportion of grape growers are sanguine that much better prices will prevail hereafter. MISSION SAN JOS£. In the Mission San Jose district I find that the phylloxera has gained a foothold, and the viticulturists are taking radical precautions to check its spread. In the vineyards where its presence has been dis- covered the vines in and around the infected spot have been destroyed and gas lime applied at once. I found a reluctance on the part of the owners of infected vineyards to give me information. The grape output in 1892 was satisfactory so far as crop returns go, but, like the balance of the vintners in the State, all are looking forward with hungry eyes and empty pockets to better prices for grapes and wines. The cellarage capacity seems ample to accommodate the coming crop. WARM SPRINGS. In this district I did not learn of any vineyard infected with phyl- loxera. In every other particular its soil, climate, and conditions are similar to the Mission San Jose district. OTHER DISTRICTS. The Sunol and Vallecitos vineyard plantations are small and few in number, and are entirely healthy. The soil is different grades of loam and gravel mixed with loam. There are no wineries in either section. At Haywards I find but few vineyards, and very small plantings are the rule. The vineyards are nearly all planted to table grapes, which are largely sold locally and shipped to San Francisco. Most of the vineyards are owned by Portuguese, and each owner makes enough wine for his own use. There has been but little planting of vines in Alameda County during the last few years. Nearly all the vineyards are in full bearing. I should judge that the acreage of new vineyards planted during the last three years does not exceed two hundred acres. During my visits to the different vineyards I find almost invariably that where the owner of a vineyard is a foreigner he makes enough wine for his home use, and he uses it. This is not true of the American-born owner. When the wine bottle on the home table of our people takes the place of the whisky and beer bottles on the saloon counters, we will have advanced one great step in the pathway of civilization. I am most respectfully yours, FRANK L. FOWLER. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. SAN FRANCISCO, May 17, 1893.
