This is Part 2 with wine writer and speaker Christina Rasmussen and we are discussing planting your own vineyard and the decisions that you can make. Christina has planted her very own vineyard in England. So, we will talk about the soils, choosing massal selection over clonal selection, diseases and viruses and vines, grafting your own vines onto rootstocks, grape varieties such as Mondeuse and Pineau d’Aunis, trellising on stakes, high density planting, and so much more. And Christina will be explaining all her reasons for why she has made her decisions, which I just found fascinating, and I hope you do too.
