I hope that even non-wine drinkers appreciate the amazing art & science of cultivating a vineyard. halfmoongirl, well, maybe if you tasted Monsieur Espinasse’s wines you may change your mind! :-) I’m glad you still enjoyed the post.

It sounds like you've amassed quite a lot of knowledge already. (Maybe you could suprise Monsieur Espinasse and invent something new... a new variety of "desert" grapes, a new technology, etc.) I know a little about Washington wines (Chateau St. Michelle, of course) and California wines (Napa Valley) but next to nothing about Oregon wines... all except the LOL, the "oregon grape." You have some fun ahead of you. Bon apetite, and salut! e-Mom P.S. My German forbears were Rhine river vinedressers. Persecuted for their protestant faith following the Reformation, they fled to Ireland at the invitation of Queen Anne. Ultimately they came to the US. Still loyal to the British crown, they migrated north to Canada during the the "Rebellion." (American Revolution) How fun to have an e-mail exchange with a real, live viticulturist!
