When the Vikings arrived to North Eastern Canada, they named it New Vine Land, because there were vines....everywhere, grape vines that is.
The grape is a succulent treat to those that delve into the frozen, rugged terrain. While it seems we have grapes thriving in hot climates - in reality we have "micro-climates" like the Uco Valley in Argentina (the mountainous region bordering Chile); or Coombsville in Napa, where it's sparse, rocky, and in the echos of the Atlas Peak heights.
Grapes are the product of their land. Terroir. They are again, a treat. A complex, mind buzzing, and sweet treat. When they are fermented, even more complex aromas arise.
Wow. That’s cool that the Vikings found grape vines everywhere. Pretty amazing. Agreed that grapes are a treat. Nice to see you repeat that. Very cool
