[Growwine] Fw: Put me on the site

[Larry Paterson]

My apologies - this should have been sent to the list before the weekend, 
but I am just starting to put the pieces back together after a longer than 
expected stay in Quebec in recent days.

As a side note about Nova Scotia, the Competition for the Amateur Winemakers 
of Canada will be held in Nova Scotia next August.   Maybe one of the 
lurkers on the list would care to provide more information about this?

Hi there,

We'd love to be included on your Growers List.  Our info is as follows:


"Brendan & Karen Enright

Arcadie House Vineyards, Bear River East, Nova Scotia.


We have been members of the Nova Scotia Grape Growers Association since
2004 and are on our second vineyard.  Our first vineyard was a 3 acre
planting at our Bed & Breakfast in Weymouth, Nova Scotia and consisted
of mainly Pinot Noir, New York Muscat and Foch.   We really caught the
grape bug with that vineyard, decided that we'd like to have a larger
planting and found a beautiful site in Bear River East.  In the Spring
of 2006 we began planting out what would become a 9.5 acre vineyard.
Blessed with a southern exposure, good air drainage and a gentle slope
we went full steam ahead and planted Pinot Gris, Marchal Joffre, GM 318
(Reisling), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, New York Muscat and 300
test vines including Seyval Blanc, Auxerrois and Baco Noir.    The Pinot
Gris produced a very small crop this year and Brix of 21.

Onward and upward and we look forward to viable tonnage in 2008 .....
some would say we have Grape Expectations!"



Thanks very much.

Regards,



Karen Enright
