Hi Tim, I just started listening to your podcast a week ago. I really enjoy it. I like how it is short and not too long and you do not go into “too” much explanation. Keep up the good work.
Tim – really enjoy your shows, I listen to them while I’m in my vineyard tending the vines. My wife and I are just getting started, having just planted our first two acres, one acre of Viognier – clone 1 on 3309 rootstock and one acre of Cabernet Franc = clone 332 on 3309 rootstock. Will be installing another acre of Viognier this spring. Wanted to clue you in to the great Viogniers coming out of Virginia. Here’s a few links for you and hopefully your readers to check out:
