Peeking down into this milk carton one can see a baby Pinot grigio vine doing what it does best, reaching up for the sun and growing. Planted last season, this young vine is replacing a weak vine that just didn't make it; a rebirth of sorts, apropos of the season methinks.

VG: I was wondering if I understood what you and Vinomaker do with your grapes: You guys grow PG, Cab, Syrah, and Orange muscat; correct?
These varietals are vinified by 'you' as samples for selling 'your' consulting and for your personal use?
Hope I'm not asking inappropriately!
NHW: Yes, basically. It's a lot of wine, we scaled back a bit last year.
