For an inside look at the creation of a new pinot noir winery from the ground up, you should visit
Pinotblogger a lovely blog chronicling the birth of the Capozzi Winery in California's Russian River Valley. Follow the link below to visit Pinotblogger.
We're lucky that all of our own pinot noir is on grafted rootstock. Most of the people we buy grapes from are not so lucky. For us, our 25 year old riesling will be the big loss.
Thanks for the link, Craig.
My condolences on the phylloxera infestation. How much acreage do you stand to lose? What clone(s) will you be replanting with?
I hope the cash outlay and loss of production doesn't hurt too much. Keep us posted.
Best,
Josh
