What's going on in naples

[Doc]

From what I have been told, wine from NY is become more and more popular, so maybe they are planting more wine grapes. I don't know about you guys, but I find wine grapes to be just as good eating as "eating" grapes.

 

That is another reason for seeing vineyards being ripped out. Varieties go through periods of popularity as well as going out-of-favor. Some of those vineyards that are being removed may turn right around and replant on more popular varieties.

 

Also, a lot of the local processing is being done my niche farmers who specifically get market share by having their own choices of grape varieties. They may find that they have to replant to get the varieties that they want. So watching a vineyard getting ripped up does not mean that it is going out of production.
