Pioneering story 1.

I have just loaded a story onto Vinodiversity.com about establishing a Nebbiolo vineyard in the Beechworth Region. Nebbiolo is regarded as a difficult variety to grow , and to make wine with.

Karen Coats tells about the trials and tribulations she and her partner had in establishing Virago, their vineyard in Beechworth, and how the dream of producing wine from this challenging variety just kept the project going.

Sue is raising funds via the crowdfunding system Pozible. Contributors to the program get rewards for their pledges of financial support. For example if you pledge $300 you will get a box of some of sue's superb alternative varietal wines. But you will have to hurry. Limited quantity and the Pozible program ends this Friday.

You can read about the project, and perhaps pledge support, via the link below.
