To learn more about how the landscape and environmental elements that you see in these photos is translated into the flavors that you taste in a glass of Flint Ridge Vineyard's wine, read Carl's notes on the vineyard'sTerroir.
Looking at the possibility of $3.00 per gallon gas, I took my daughter's mountain bike over to Macedonia road and to the farm that you can see from the top of our vineyard. On the home page, in the photograph, if you look to the top right, you'll see a mown hill very high, and fence that climbs to the summit. I rode over, met the gentleman in his driveway and asked if I could go to the top of his hill and shoot some pics of my vineyard.
"Sure," he says.
So, I managed to ride half the distance and had to push my bicycle the rest of the way up to the gate. I got carved up pretty good by multi-flora rose...but when I reached the top, here is what I saw...to the left. I need to drive my pickup up there and put my eight foot stepladder in the bed and see if I can get an image with less trees in the foreground. You are seeing the vineyard from the southwest.
