Vineyard on Pequot Trail

Today, we received a phone call from our architect who mentioned that he was working with some one who bought the property on Pequot Trail that is planted in vines. The owner was interested in perhaps growing his vineyard more organically, so our name came up. We had just come back from a walk at Napatree Point where we saw around 50 plovers. We know that they come to nest in Napatree but we're thinking they are a little early this year. But, I digress.
We called Alex and he mentioned that he was just in his vineyard and would we like to go over to his home. We went there and met his wife Nora. We talked about soil tests and grapes over a glass of Chardonnay made from their grapes. They have about 1 acre planted in Chardonnay. This vineyard has been there for around 20 years. When we walked the vineyard, we saw that it was being pruned. Two canes were being left for this years growth. Although, it has been a warm winter so far the buds were still dormant and not showing any signs of scale crack.
