Sorry about your situation particularly if you were trying to grow something nicer than the standard sauv blanc from the region. Nothing wrong with a half acre vineyard?

The instructor said that organic wine was becoming very popular with drinkers but was still marginalised by the so called experts. I'd like to try some organic wine and make my own opinion. So far I've had only the occassional bottle and they were good but nothing out of the ordinary. They were inexpensive bottles so I didn't really expect them to stand out.</p> I did a wine tasting course at polytech last year.
