I found this article really interesting. Having grown up in Provence, studied oenology and viticulture in Montpellier, and made wine in Bordeaux, Hallgren found himself particularly drawn to New York State’s expression of the Pinot Noir grape. ‘It’s a good reminder that Pinot Noir, at least in its original form, is a cool climate variety,’ says Hallgren.
Well, maybe that's why it's growing so beautifully in Ireland and has the reputation of being difficult in warmer climates. Maybe we were meant to cultivate Pinot Noir! Maybe moving it to warmer climes introduced disease and pestilence it wasn't used to. Hmmmm! Climate activism of a different ilk.
On another note, they poured and polished the concrete floor of the shed today. Hooray! It's beautiful, and we are closer to done.
