Victor Brandstetter and winemaker Dan Kleck give a brief history of Orchid Hill Winery, talk about why forcing vines to struggle creates robust wines, explain the reasons for grafting vines onto different rootstocks and why they plant rose bushes in their vineyards.
incredible! great information about what Orchid Hill is doing in their vineyards to make great wines. . . the rose bush info is fascinating. I had heard of people planting crab apple trees at the end of rows, but that is for totally different reasons!

Video Vic! I love the informal but informational format. Its cool to learn about what makes great vineyards great, in a manner that doesn't whiz right over my novice head.
