Uncle Charlie, with his wife and two children, is the owner of a small winery near Auburn, California. He specializes in Syrah, Port and Barbera. The winery web site is www.greenfamilywinery.com. This is an account of his daily experiences and travels around the Wonderful World of Wine with his cell phone/camera. His first big trip will be to the Rhone Valley in the south of France starting 3 Nov. 2005. Please bear with him as he has never Blogged before, let alone with a cell phone!
I'm old but crafty and cunning. Have NO time for Liberals.
Having met a few of the local winemakers I see a few common threads. They have much the same problems as we in USA. Bad weather and unreasonable government regulations!
Seems that the governments on both sides of the ocean are afraid the wineries will somehow make a profit that goes untaxed. Or that they have achieved too much freedom of operation. The weather is at least predictable to a certain extent!
