Conversations about the vineyard.

Considering the diversity of interests in the family it was a surprise listening to how each person was interested in participating.

Maybe it was the excitement of the holiday gathering, the good food and drink.

Certainly it was vines and wines. I guess that's my basic interest. A chance to work outside, everyday. To get familiar with the land and the vines and all the interactions of life around them.

But there were other interests: art, music, food, craft and other, rather unusual incidentals that could nicely compliment a vineyard.
