The Vineyard Years Podcast Chapter 11 : The Shed
In an effort to play catch-up I’m posting another podcast shortly after the last one. Not our usual practice but these are difficult times.

An established one of over 10,000 vines at that time. I’m trying to acquire some wine-making expertise should we ever get grapes of our own.
