Great read, Marshall. So much planning and research required before the first plant. It must be great having neighbors who are willing to share expertise and support your dream! Your grandfather would be proud. Looking forward to the next chapter.

With the help of a local vine grower, we found a few folks willing to take my left overs. They were all Riesling, I decided to focus on Pinot, though I have around 50 Riesling vines.

It's amazing to look back and see all that you've accomplished in a few short years. A true model of #Encore life.
