@Larry P

BTW Tim my neighbor has a small vineyard (we’re on the flat part of the valley) and sadly her husband who tended it and made the wine, died of cancer a couple years ago. For a while the vineyard was tended by one of the local wineries and in exchange she gave them the grapes for free. This year it never was pruned. I haven’t talked to her about it, but I guess they decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. I imagine she’d give away the grapes if you wanted to pick them, but it’s going to take a little TLC to get the vineyard back in shape with this year’s neglect. I’ve been thinking about talking to her about it to see what’s happening with it.

Hmmmm, Larry…this is sorta the way MikeOfficer started out w/ Twackers. You may be onto something big here!!!

@Tim Corliss

Larry& Tom, thanks for your thoughts. I was actually thinking the opposite in terms of where those soils may be.

Larry - I would REALLY be interested in helping you with that restoration project. I know less about viticulture than the little I have learned about enology at UC Davis and the four vintages of garage wine. That said, it would be a wonderful opportunity to tend a vineyard and make wine from it. I have all of the essentials in the garage, stainless steel tanks, bladder press, crusher/destemmer, etc.

I’ll talk to her and get in touch with you offline.
