Viandel Vineyard
First Harvest
This is my most adorable aunt Cathy and my uncle Jon (ok, he's adorable, too). Check out their grapes! (that sounds kinda suspect). I haven't heard yet if they harvested enough grapes to make their first couple bottles of wine. How exciting is that? I have volunteered to relocate and run their Tasting Center in Mountain View MO. Stay tuned.....
YES! With a limited first harvest, pressed Chambourcin yesterday for bench trials...will keep you posted!

ReplyDeleteThe word on the vine is that next year Viandel himself would celebrate his 100th Birthday...there could be something in the works to mark that special occasion!!! Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteThis morning we took a drive to the beautiful Minich vineyard in Alton where we purchased Nortons. Picture perfect grapes and a variety we are growing. Came home crushed, destemmed, and prepped for fermentation.
