No postings ...

No posts, no rading even, this week due to vineyard planting tasks. We (Lee Rice and Thomas Schminke) have 3 acres of grape vines in the ground. That is 1650 plants. Two acres are frontenoc grapes and the other acre is a white called frontenoc gris, sibling grape to the frontenoc (red).

These local grapes will not be ready as wine for probably 6 years, but the winery section of the business hopes to open in 2007 on grapes purchased elsewhere, some local, some national, some international.

There is still much post hole digging in my future the next few days, for the trellising system. Hard to say when i'll get caught back up on my reading.


I love to build things from the ground up.
