The Story

This is my opportunity to write the story. At this point it will be fiction although facts and real places will be used as much as possible so that the challenges can be based in reality.

This is the start of a vineyard. It will include a winery and a number of other components.

The reasons for this venture are multiple and will certainly become evident as the story progresses. This is a 'seat-of-the-pants' venture into something I know little about. But if you have seen Paula Scher Gets Serious on TED then you'll understand better why it makes sense.

Here are the basics: Iam an architect so the process will generally follow typical design process; cooperation is paramount, contributions from outside sources, comments big and small are welcome; this is a family enterprise, they are the primary resources on site but I have confidence that there are many other important people to be involved.

No one follows this blog so part of my effort will go into fomenting interest.

As the title indicates this is a story. Hopefully I can develop some intrigue along the way. Not being a writer this should prove to be an interesting experiment.
